Across 60 matches Schoeman has built a profile defined by relentless defensive output, averaging over seven tackles per game with single-match peaks of 20 — numbers that point to a lock who is heavily involved in the collision game week in, week out. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably to forward momentum without dominating ball-in-hand statistics. Five tries over this sample add a modest but genuine threat from depth, rounding out a workmanlike set-piece forward who earns his minutes through consistency.
