Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless tackler, disciplined defensive flanker

Pokomela's numbers across three Currie Cup appearances tell a clear defensive story — he averages over six tackles per match, with a single-game peak of eleven, marking him as a consistent and high-volume presence at the breakdown. His carrying load is modest, suggesting his primary value to the Blue Bulls is built around defensive work rather than ball-in-hand contribution. Within that defined role, he performs reliably, maintaining his tackle output across all three matches logged.
