Coetzee's tackle numbers are the defining feature of his profile — averaging more than ten per match across 78 appearances points to a player who is consistently at the heart of defensive efforts rather than drifting to the edges of the game. His carrying is equally purposeful, with over eight runs a match and a 26-try return across those contests showing he arrives in contact with genuine threat. The peak outputs — 25 tackles and 15 carries in a single game — confirm he can shoulder an exceptional workload when the match demands it.
