Across 21 Top 14 appearances, Manu has established himself as a high-volume defender, averaging nearly eight tackles per match with single-game peaks of 19 — figures that point to a centre heavily involved in his team's defensive structure. He contributes reliably with ball in hand, posting five carries per match and maintaining efficient yardage, suggesting he is used as a controlled, direct runner rather than a high-frequency attacking option. His consistency across over a thousand minutes of rugby underlines a player who performs a dependable, workmanlike role on both sides of the ball.
