Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier and defensive anchor

Venter brings reliable volume at number 8, averaging close to five carries and nearly 30 metres per game while also clocking over six tackles a match across his four Currie Cup appearances. His defensive output is a particular standout, with a single-game high of 12 tackles underlining his willingness to put in the hard yards around the breakdown. He has shown he can impose himself with ball in hand too, capable of topping 50 metres in a match when given the opportunity.
