Across 18 matches, Lovotti's profile is defined almost entirely by his defensive output — averaging close to three tackles per game, with a single-match peak of ten, he functions as a high-volume ball-stopper rather than a carrying threat. His carry numbers are minimal, suggesting his role keeps him tight to the set-piece and breakdown rather than running lines in open play. The consistency of his tackling across Rugby World Cup, Six Nations, and United Rugby Championship fixtures points to a prop whose primary contribution is measured in metres prevented, not metres gained.
