Across 26 appearances, Steenkamp maintains a disciplined double contribution on both sides of the ball, consistently averaging around four carries and four tackles per match across multiple competitions. His per-game numbers rarely fluctuate wildly, but his single-match peaks — 14 carries and 14 tackles in the same outing — reveal a capacity to take over a contest when required. That combination of steady volume and high-ceiling performances marks him as a flanker who impacts the game in the unglamorous, structural moments that decide tight matches.
