Across 22 matches, Kunene contributes steadily in the wide channels, averaging over 31 metres per game from the back and demonstrating a consistent willingness to take the ball into contact. His per-match numbers are solid rather than spectacular, but his best performances — peaking at 100 metres and 11 carries in a single outing — show he can shift into a higher gear when the occasion demands. Four tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension to what is primarily a carrying and line-breaking role.
