Mpofu's numbers across nine Currie Cup appearances paint a picture of a lock who earns his minutes through consistent defensive graft, averaging close to five tackles per game and reaching double figures in a single outing. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing short, purposeful gains that suggest he operates primarily as a ball-carrier in close contact rather than a line-breaker. The consistency between his averages and his best performances indicates a player who shows up reliably within a defined role week after week.
