Tabutsadze contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging close to five carries and four-and-a-half tackles per match across his ten appearances in Challenge Cup and Rugby World Cup rugby. His carry numbers reflect a wing asked to do considerable heavy lifting in general play, and his best outings — pushing 70-plus metres and seven tackles in a single game — show he can elevate when the occasion demands. Three tries over those ten matches round out a profile built more on workrate and defensive reliability than pure finishing volume.
