Across 35 matches Xaba averages nine tackles per game, a figure that underlines his primary value as a defensive workhorse at the breakdown and in the wider channel. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, suggesting a role built around hard yards rather than volume ball-in-hand, while a single-game peak of 27 tackles points to the capacity to dominate defensively when the match demands it.
