Four URC appearances in 2025/26 and four starts — the coaching staff did not ease him in. Venter scored in the URC and again in the Challenge Cup, where he recorded five points, fifty-four metres from ten carries, two defenders beaten and a 75 per cent tackle success rate. He has been recognised at international level. At twenty-three, with the physical profile for a long-term second-row role, he is one of the squad's clearest upward trajectories.
