Badenhorst carries the ball frequently and accumulates ground reliably across matches, averaging over 34 metres per game from close to ten carries — figures that point to a player trusted to move the ball forward with regularity. His workload holds up across the tournament, and his best single-game output of 15 carries and 54 metres suggests he can step up his involvement when the team needs it. He also contributes consistently in defence, chipping in with tackles each match rather than concentrating his defensive work in isolated performances.
