Across 38 appearances as a replacement, Schoeman's output is defined by his defensive workload — nearly five tackles per outing reflects a player who consistently makes an impact when introduced. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary brief is to stabilise and secure rather than to generate go-forward ball. The gap between his typical game and his best outings — 13 carries and 14 tackles in a single match — shows he has the capacity to step up when given extended minutes.
