Across 16 matches as a replacement, Mousques consistently adds go-forward ball in hand, averaging close to seven carries and over 40 metres per appearance — numbers that point to a player who hits the ground running off the bench. His five tries across the dataset suggest he has a nose for the line when given opportunity, while his best outings — touching double figures in carries and metres — show he can shoulder a significant workload when called upon. Defensively he contributes without standing out, but his value is clearly built around what he does with ball in hand.
