Across 69 matches, Ntlabakanye's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining contribution — nearly eight per game on average, with a single-game peak of 22, pointing to a prop who is heavily involved in defensive structure rather than just set-piece duties. His carry load is steady rather than explosive, reflecting the controlled, attritional role expected of a tighthead, while five tries over this sample show he is not absent from attacking moments when they arise. The volume of minutes logged across three competitions underlines his consistency as a reliable front-row presence.
