Across eight Currie Cup appearances, Sithole has been a reliable presence at the set piece and around the fringes, averaging close to five tackles per match and contributing steadily with ball in hand. His best outings show the capacity to step up when needed — hitting double figures in tackles and generating meaningful metres from limited touches. He is a hooker who earns his minutes through defensive consistency rather than eye-catching volume.
Mahle Sithole is a professional rugby union hooker registered with the Lions, the Johannesburg-based franchise. He forms part of the matchday squad and is tasked with throwing into the lineout and packing down at hooker.
