Across 11 appearances as a replacement, Munga's output is overwhelmingly defensive — averaging 7.5 tackles per match across Champions Cup and Premiership rugby, with a single-game peak of 18. His carrying is minimal by design, reflecting a role built around immediate defensive impact rather than ball-in-hand contribution. When called upon, he brings a reliable and high-volume tackling presence in the closing stages of matches.
