Across nine appearances as a replacement, Nieuwoudt consistently contributes more through his tackling than his ball-carrying, averaging close to four tackles per outing with a single-game high of eight. His carry numbers are modest but functional for a finisher role, suggesting his primary value on the field is defensive solidity rather than ball-in-hand impact. When the moments demand it, he shows the capacity to lift both his carry and tackle output significantly above his average.
Tielman stands 188cm (6′2″) tall and weighs 127kg.
