Across 12 matches Ibo consistently contributes with ball in hand, averaging close to 38 metres per game from the full-back position — a rate that points to regular involvement rather than peripheral use. His peak outputs of 12 carries and 81 metres in a single game show he can take on a central carrying role when the match demands it. His try return and a player-of-the-match award add an attacking dimension to what the numbers suggest is a purposeful, high-touch game.
