Across 88 matches Fouche has built one of the most consistent defensive workloads in the dataset, averaging nearly six tackles per game and surpassing 500 in total — figures that point to a prop heavily involved in the defensive structure well beyond set-piece duties. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the controlled, low-volume role typical of a tighthead, though his peak outputs of nine carries and 14 tackles in a single match show he can step up when the game demands more. He is a reliable, high-minute operator whose value is measured in durability and defensive consistency.
