Across 27 appearances for Clermont, Jauneau consistently shoulders a heavy workload at the base of the scrum, averaging close to seven carries and 38 metres per match — figures that point to a nine who regularly takes the ball himself rather than deferring. His tackle numbers are equally telling, approaching six per game with a single-match peak of 12, underlining a defensive commitment that goes well beyond the average halfback's expectations. Eight tries over this sample adds a genuine attacking dimension to what is already a high-volume, two-way game.
