Across 69 matches and over 3500 minutes of action, Louw stands out primarily for his defensive output — averaging more than five tackles per game, with a single-match peak of 18, signalling a prop who consistently puts in the hard yards when his team does not have the ball. His carrying game is steady rather than explosive, but his ability to reach eight carries in a single outing shows he can shoulder a bigger load when called upon. Two tries across this dataset round out the picture of a tighthead who earns his minutes through reliability and work rate on both sides of the ball.
