Across 33 matches, Becognee averages nearly ten tackles per game — a volume that marks him as a primary defensive presence at the breakdown and in open play. He complements that defensive output with consistent ball-carrying, gaining ground through contact rather than in bursts, and his three player-of-the-match awards across the Challenge Cup and Top 14 confirm he delivers on the big occasions. Peak performances of 23 tackles and 11 carries in a single match illustrate the ceiling of his influence when the game demands it.
