Across 37 matches Hepburn's tackle counts stand out as the defining feature of his game, averaging 6.6 per match with a single-game peak of 20 — numbers that point to a prop who carries significant defensive responsibility beyond the set piece. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, used selectively to support ball-in-hand phases rather than drive metres. The consistency of his minute totals underlines a player who is regularly trusted to operate across extended periods of test-level and European rugby.
