Ngobese's tackle numbers stand out for a prop, averaging four per match across ten appearances and peaking at twelve in a single game — a figure that underlines genuine defensive commitment rather than incidental contact. His carrying load is modest but reliable, suggesting a role built around set-piece and breakdown work rather than carrying threat. The consistency of his minutes across Champions Cup, Currie Cup, and Rugby's Greatest Rivalry points to a player trusted to hold his shape in varied, high-pressure environments.
