Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless engine in the tight

Across 14 URC appearances, Jansen van Vuren has built a reputation as a consistent, high-volume worker — his tackle count stands out most, averaging over five per match and peaking at 11 in a single game, marking him as a reliable defensive presence at lock. His carrying numbers are modest in metres gained but steady in frequency, suggesting a role focused on maintaining momentum and presenting the ball rather than breaking the gain line. He contributes quietly but durably across both phases of play.
