Across 17 appearances as a replacement, Heguy's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 17 in a single game — numbers that point to a player relied upon to shore up the gainline late in contests. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, with nearly three carries per outing and a modest metres-per-carry return suggesting his ball-in-hand role is functional rather than explosive. The consistency of that tackle count across both Champions Cup and Top 14 rugby underlines a dependable defensive presence whenever he takes the field.
