Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Defensive anchor at tighthead prop

Across 30 matches De Bruin's tackle numbers stand out clearly — averaging 3.6 per game with a single-match peak of 11, he contributes consistently as a defensive presence in the front row. His carrying load is modest, as expected of a tighthead, with his best individual outings showing he can step up physically when called upon. The volume of minutes accumulated across three competitions points to a reliable, workmanlike presence in the pack.
