Barnard's match data across four Currie Cup appearances paints a picture of a player built around defensive output, averaging close to seven tackles per game and posting a single-game high of 14 — the kind of numbers that reflect consistent, high-volume work at the breakdown and in the channel. His carrying is measured rather than frequent, but when he does get his hands on the ball he makes meaningful metres, with a best of 29 in a single outing suggesting he can hurt teams when used purposefully. A try in this sample adds an attacking dimension to what is predominantly a defensive profile.
