Across 13 URC appearances, Pretorius contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging over three carries and three tackles per match with a physical ceiling demonstrated by single-game peaks of eight carries and nine tackles. His carry numbers translate into meaningful territory gain, suggesting he operates as a direct, hard-running option in the midfield rather than a peripheral one. The defensive workload is notably balanced against his attacking output, pointing to a centre who is trusted to function in both phases.
