Dombrandt combines genuine ball-carrying volume with consistent defensive output, averaging nearly seven carries and close to seven tackles per match across 35 appearances at the highest level. His try-scoring return of 15 across that sample underlines that his carries translate into meaningful attacking contribution, not just metres. Single-game peaks of 17 carries and 21 tackles suggest he can absorb a dominant workload when the match demands it.
