Across 39 appearances as a replacement, Schoeman's output is defined by his tackling — averaging close to five per match and reaching 14 in a single game, numbers that point to a player who consistently arrives on the field and immediately engages in the defensive effort. His carrying is modest in volume and gain, which is consistent with a front-rower used in short bursts to maintain set-piece pressure rather than to generate metres in open play. The combination of high tackle counts and limited ball-in-hand production across more than 1,200 minutes of rugby paints a picture of a specialist impact forward whose value is measured in defence and physicality.
