Across 18 matches Mbandà has built a profile defined above all by defensive output, averaging nearly six tackles per game and reaching 15 in a single outing — figures that point to a consistently high work rate at the breakdown and in open defence. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing around 9.5 metres per match, though a best game of 46 metres and nine carries shows he can step up as a ball-carrier when called upon. The combination of over 100 tackles and more than 750 minutes across top-level competition paints a picture of a flanker who offers durable, reliable involvement across a full campaign.
