Koteka's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over 15 per match across his five Super Rugby appearances, with a single-game peak of 27, he operates as a high-volume defensive anchor in the loose. His carrying work is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably around four carries per outing, though his best game showed the capacity to stretch that significantly. Together, the numbers paint a picture of a flanker whose defensive workrate is his defining on-field contribution.
