Oosthuizen's tackle numbers — averaging 8.4 per match across 13 Currie Cup appearances — point to a flanker who is consistently involved in the defensive contest and shoulders a heavy workload. His carrying game adds genuine value too, with 244 metres from 63 carries demonstrating the ability to make metres rather than simply maintain possession. On his best days he combines both demands at an elite level, suggesting he operates as a true all-round loose forward.
