Across 24 matches Kunene maintains a consistent workload in the carry game, averaging over 30 metres per appearance and reaching triple figures in his best outings, which points to a full back who contributes meaningfully with ball in hand rather than operating on the fringes. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis but he has shown the capacity to step up defensively when needed, with a seven-tackle peak suggesting he can absorb pressure at the back. The four tries across this sample add a finishing dimension to a profile built primarily on reliable, low-risk involvement.
Born on 3 February 2003, Hakeem is 23 years old, stands 183cm (6′0″) tall and weighs 87kg.
