Across 18 matches in the Challenge Cup and Currie Cup, Annies demonstrates a reliable presence on the wing, averaging over 50 metres per game from just over six carries — an efficiency that points to purposeful running lines rather than high volume. His nine tries across the dataset underline an ability to finish, while his single-game peaks of 14 carries and 112 metres show he can step up as a primary ball-carrier when the occasion demands. Defensively he contributes without being overly exposed, maintaining a steady tackle count across more than 1 100 minutes of action.
