Across 16 appearances as a replacement, K'poku has built a compelling case as a high-impact defender, averaging nearly seven tackles per outing and topping 14 in a single game. His carrying numbers are modest by design — under three attempts per match — yet he consistently contributes around eight metres when called upon, suggesting he is used as a direct, reliable ball-carrier rather than a line-breaker. The pattern across both Champions Cup and Top 14 football points to a player whose primary value lies in shoring up the defensive line during critical closing periods.
