Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive cornerstone

Across 74 matches, Tshituka averages more than eight tackles per game alongside consistent ball-carrying, pointing to a flanker who operates heavily in both phases rather than specialising in one. His single-game peaks — 26 tackles and 16 carries in the same contest — confirm he can shoulder an outsized workload when the match demands it. That combination of defensive volume and ground gained through the hands makes him a high-impact presence across multiple competitions.
