Across 41 appearances, Steyn shows a scrum half who is deeply involved in the physical contest, contributing steadily in both the carry and the tackle count every match. His peak outputs — nearly 20 carries and 14 tackles in a single game — reveal the ceiling of a nine willing to do the hard yards beyond the base. Seven tries over this period add a finishing dimension to what is primarily a work-rate-driven profile.
