Across 82 matches, Theunissen has built a profile defined by consistency on both sides of the ball — averaging over five carries and five tackles per game across more than 3,400 minutes of top-level rugby. His 12 tries from 434 carries reflect a forward who earns hard yards repeatedly rather than capitalising on isolated chances. Single-game peaks of 17 carries, 102 metres, and 19 tackles confirm he can shoulder a heavy workload when the game demands it.
Born on 9 June 1999, Marcel is 27 years old, stands 193cm (6′4″) tall and weighs 104kg.
