Across his three Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Bitiev contributes primarily as a carrying option, averaging close to three carries per outing while his tackle numbers remain modest. His best individual performance — four carries covering seven metres — reflects the short, controlled bursts typical of a forward used to inject physicality in the closing stages. With 43 minutes accumulated across the tournament, his role is clearly defined as a specialist finisher rather than a volume player.
