Mahashe's tackle numbers stand out as a defining feature of his game — nearly ten per match across eleven appearances points to a player who anchors the defensive line and hunts work consistently. He complements that defensive output with reliable ball-carrying, averaging close to five carries and over 26 metres per outing, with single-game peaks of 80 metres and 18 tackles showing he can genuinely dominate on both sides of the ball. His five tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension that makes him a well-rounded presence at the breakdown and beyond.
