Across 91 matches Van den Berg has logged over 4,400 minutes of action, pointing to consistent availability and a heavy workload at the base of the scrum. His tackle numbers stand out sharply — averaging 5.6 per game with a single-match peak of 18 — underlining a defensive commitment that goes well beyond the typical scrum half role. He adds genuine attacking threat too, with 22 tries and carrying contributions that show he is prepared to take the ball into contact rather than simply shift it on.
