Across 39 matches Desperes-Rigou shows a consistent workload in both phases, averaging nearly five tackles per game alongside regular ball-carrying duties that suggest an active, involved fly half rather than a purely distributing one. His per-game carrying and meterage figures are steady rather than explosive, but peaks of 10 carries and 129 metres in a single outing confirm he can step up his physical contribution when the game demands it. The tackle count, both on average and at its best, points to a ten who takes genuine defensive responsibility in the line.
