Across six Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Ferreira contributes consistently in both phases, mixing steady ball-carrying metres with disciplined defensive work. His best outings show he can spike significantly above his average, suggesting he raises his output when given extended minutes or favourable matchups. The tackle numbers are a quiet standout — rarely missing a shift defensively for a player used in a rotational role.
