Across 19 Six Nations appearances, Willemse's contribution is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, with his best single-game return of 10 tackles illustrating the ceiling of his impact when called upon. His carrying numbers are minimal, pointing to a role focused on set-piece and breakdown presence rather than ball-in-hand involvement. The data paints a picture of a specialist who operates in short bursts but delivers his value through physicality rather than metres gained.
