Norton's output across three Currie Cup appearances is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging nearly 12 tackles per match and contributing consistently in that area throughout. His carrying game is secondary to his role, with modest yardage suggesting he is used to retain possession rather than make ground. His best individual performance — 8 carries and 13 tackles — reflects a player who can lift both sides of his game when required.
