Across 89 matches Fouche has built a profile defined above all by his defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per game and accumulating over 500 in total — numbers that speak to a prop who is consistently active and reliable at the breakdown and in the wider defensive line. His carrying is measured rather than high-volume, with his per-match averages reflecting the controlled, low-risk contribution expected of a tighthead, though peak games of nine carries and 14 tackles show he is capable of stepping up his workload when the moment demands it.
