Across 18 URC appearances, Gumede contributes with near-identical carry and tackle averages per match, pointing to a player who is consistently involved on both sides of the ball rather than specialising in one phase. His yardage suggests he works hard for every metre gained, while his best individual performances — reaching double figures in tackles and nine carries in a single game — show he can step up his output when the moment demands it. He is a reliable, high-effort flanker who brings consistent volume to the Bulls' forward effort week on week.
Born on 8 July 2000, Mpilo is 26 years old, stands 193cm (6′4″) tall and weighs 110kg.
