Across 17 appearances off the bench, Mangan contributes steadily in both phases, averaging just over five carries and four tackles per outing in Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship action. His tackle numbers hold up well for a replacement forward, and his best individual performances — reaching 13 tackles and 17 carries in a single match — show he can absorb a significant workload when called upon. The consistency of his output across 566 minutes suggests he fulfils a defined, dependable impact role within the Leinster forward pack.
