Howden's match data paints a picture of a high-volume defensive presence, averaging over 13 tackles per game across 24 Super Rugby appearances with a single-game peak of 23. He contributes reliably with ball in hand without dominating possession, suggesting a role built around breakdown presence and defensive workrate rather than expansive carrying. His consistency across nearly 1700 minutes of rugby underlines a player who rarely misses a beat in the hard, unglamorous work of the position.
