Across 45 matches Steyn shows up as a consistent contributor on both sides of the ball, maintaining steady carry and tackle averages that point to a high-involvement, all-phases scrum half. His peak outputs — 19 carries and 14 tackles in a single game — demonstrate he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when the match demands it. Seven tries over this sample adds a genuine threat dimension to his profile beyond the basics of service and defence.
