Volschenk is a consistent presence at the base of the scrum, contributing reliably with ball in hand and making himself available as a defensive linchpin across every match in this dataset. His tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over eight per game across six Currie Cup appearances, with a single-game peak of fourteen, pointing to a player who prioritises defensive duty as much as carrying. When given opportunity with ball in hand, he can produce — his best carrying performance of fifteen carries for sixty-seven metres shows he has the capacity to drive meaningful yardage when called upon.
