Delaporte's tackle numbers place him among the most industrious defenders in his position, consistently making contact on both sides of the ball across Champions Cup and Top 14 football. His carrying load is steady rather than explosive, suggesting a role built around physicality and continuity rather than line-breaking. When the game demands it, he can push well beyond his averages — his peak single-game outputs in both carries and tackles point to a player who scales his workload to the occasion.
