Across 35 matches in the Currie Cup and United Rugby Championship, Naude's output reflects the disciplined, unglamorous demands of a loosehead prop — consistent in the carry and dependable in the tackle. His defensive numbers stand out in particular, with peaks of 11 tackles in a single game pointing to a player who shoulders real defensive responsibility at set-piece and breakdown. While his carrying game is measured rather than explosive, his ability to accumulate minutes and maintain those workrates across both competitions speaks to his durability in the front row.
