Van Nek's numbers across 10 Super Rugby appearances paint a clear picture of a high-volume defensive operator, averaging over nine tackles per match with a single-game peak of 15. His carrying is consistent rather than explosive, contributing reliable front-foot metres at a steady rate that suits a prop asked to do the unglamorous work. The combination of sustained tackle output and repeated carries across 410 minutes suggests a player who holds his shift deep into matches.
