Across 11 Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Swart's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging over three tackles per match and peaking at eight in a single game. His carrying is minimal and gains little ground, suggesting his primary value on introduction is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. The consistency of his tackle numbers across limited minutes points to a player who arrives on the field ready to engage immediately.
