Across five Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Katjijeko's impact is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching double figures in a single game. His carrying numbers are minimal, suggesting his primary brief when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. The consistency of his tackle output across 219 minutes of rugby points to a player who arrives with clear intent and executes a focused, disciplined role.
