Across 49 matches Landsberg has built his reputation on consistency at the breakdown and in defence, averaging nearly seven tackles per outing with single-game peaks of 20 that underline his capacity to carry a defensive shift almost single-handedly. His carrying numbers tell a similar story — a steady, reliable presence rather than a flashy ball-runner, accumulating metres through hard, direct work that keeps the Lions' forward platform functioning. It is the sheer volume of his contributions over 2 397 minutes that marks him out as a lock who earns his time through effort rather than individual highlights.
Born on 26 July 1998, Darrien is 28 years old, stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 111kg.
