Norton's output across four appearances is defined by his tackle work, averaging close to ten per match and reaching thirteen in his best outing — numbers that point to a player heavily trusted to defend at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying is steady rather than dominant, used sparingly to shift the gain line rather than as a primary attacking weapon. The consistency of his defensive numbers across both Currie Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby suggests a clearly defined role as a high-volume tackler at the base of the scrum.
