De Jager's match data paints a picture of a lock who earns his place through relentless defensive work, averaging three and a half tackles per appearance across 25 international matches. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, yet a single-match peak of 15 carries and 43 metres demonstrates he can take on a far heavier ball-carrying load when the team demands it. That solitary player-of-the-match award underlines that his best performances leave a clear mark on the game.
