Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Busy carrier, relentless defensive presence

Across 26 matches, Couilloud consistently contributes beyond the base expectations of his position, averaging over four carries per game and accumulating nearly 600 metres with ball in hand — numbers that reflect an active, running scrum half rather than a purely distributive one. His tackle counts reinforce that work rate defensively, with peaks of 12 tackles in a single match indicating he regularly covers ground well beyond the ruck. Seven tries across the dataset further suggest he is a genuine threat when opportunities present themselves close to the line.
