Across 10 appearances as a replacement, Zapedowski consistently makes his presence felt on the defensive side of the ball, averaging over four tackles per game with a single-match peak of 11. His carrying numbers are modest but functional, suggesting his primary value when introduced is to stabilise the defensive line rather than carry the attack forward. That reliability in the contact area, sustained across Champions Cup and Top 14 rugby, points to a specialist impact role built around defensive output.
