Pelser's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over nine per match across his seven URC appearances, with a single-game peak of 15, he functions as a high-volume defensive presence at the breakdown and in open play. He also contributes meaningfully with ball in hand, consistently eating up ground through direct carries and adding two tries to his account. Together, those numbers paint a picture of an industrious, all-action flanker who earns his minutes through sheer work rate on both sides of the ball.
