Across six Currie Cup appearances as a replacement for Boland Cavaliers, Osuagwu has made a more immediate impact with his defensive work than his carrying, averaging three tackles per game and reaching six in his standout outing. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, suggesting a player used in a controlled, low-risk role when introduced from the bench.
