Across three Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Welman has shown a reliable low-volume but purposeful carrying game, contributing short-range metres consistently each time he takes the field. His tackle numbers are notably steady relative to his limited minutes, suggesting he engages defensively as a priority upon entry. His best individual outing — four carries and three tackles — reflects what he is capable of when given the opportunity to influence a game off the bench.
