Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless defensive anchor up front

Across 34 matches Tshakweni's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per appearance and reaching as high as 13 in a single game — a volume that marks him as a consistently busy presence at the breakdown and gainline. His carrying numbers are modest in frequency and metres gained, which is typical of a prop whose primary contribution is measured in defensive grunt rather than ball-in-hand impact. The consistency of that tackling output across five different competitions points to a player who brings reliable physical commitment regardless of the stage.
