Across 44 URC appearances, Nohamba plays a compact but purposeful role at the base of the scrum, averaging just over three carries per match yet consistently converting field position into forward momentum. His seven tries from that workload suggest a sharp eye for opportunity around the ruck, and his best individual outings — up to seven carries and 66 metres in a single game — show he can shift gears and take the game on when space opens up. Defensively he contributes steadily without being called on heavily, reflecting a half back role built primarily around distribution and tactical control.
