Across eight appearances as a replacement, Manz has built a profile defined primarily by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per match and reaching 15 in a single outing. His carrying is limited in volume, reflecting the restricted ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a replacement forward, though he has shown the ability to contribute with ball in hand when called upon. The consistency of his tackle numbers across Champions Cup, Premiership, and United Rugby Championship fixtures points to a player who brings reliable defensive presence regardless of competition level.
