Across seven Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Krugel has built a consistent profile as a defensive contributor, averaging close to three tackles per outing. His carrying numbers are modest but functional, suggesting his primary value lies in providing defensive solidity during his minutes rather than ball-in-hand impact. His best performances show he is capable of stepping up that workload significantly when the game demands it.
