Across 27 matches Nyakane's tackle count stands out clearly, averaging nearly three per game and peaking at 11 in a single outing — a workload that marks him as a reliable defensive presence at prop. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the specialised, grunt-work nature of his role rather than any involvement in open play. When the ball does come his way he tends to hold ground rather than gain it, which is exactly what his position demands at this level.
