Delaporte is a high-volume tackler whose per-match averages place him among the busiest defenders in his position, consistently racking up nearly a dozen tackles a game across Champions Cup and Top 14 football. His carry numbers are steady rather than explosive, suggesting a role built around continuity and hard yards rather than line-breaking, though his single-game peaks — 14 carries and 21 tackles — show he can shift into a higher gear when the match demands it. Over 1600 minutes of top-level competition, the consistency of that output is the defining feature of his game.
