Across 53 matches Engelbrecht's tackle numbers stand out as his defining trait, averaging close to seven per game with a single-match peak of 24 — the kind of output that points to a player who prioritises defensive duties above all else. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, contributing reliable metres per game without overreaching his role at the breakdown. The combination of sustained minutes and consistent tackle volume across three competitions reflects a flanker built on workrate and defensive reliability.
