Across three Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Banda contributes most consistently on the defensive side, averaging over two tackles per outing with a single-game high of four. His carrying numbers are modest in both volume and gain, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a finisher role. The tackle count is the clearest signal of where he adds value when introduced from the bench.
