Jenkins is defined by his defensive output, averaging over eleven tackles per match across more than 2 300 minutes of action — a volume that points to a lock consistently asked to do the heavy lifting in the middle of the park. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but his peak of 28 tackles and 14 carries in a single game shows he can absorb enormous workloads when the match demands it. Across 41 appearances in Premiership, World Cup, and Six Nations rugby, the data paints a picture of a high-minute, high-tackle forward who earns his time on the field through sheer industry.
