Sanson's tackle numbers stand out as his defining contribution, averaging over five per match from a replacement role and reaching eight in his best outing — a high workrate for limited minutes. His carrying is functional rather than dominant, but he consistently gains ground when called upon, suggesting he is used as a safe defensive anchor when introduced. Across Challenge Cup and Top 14 appearances, his output points to a player trusted to stabilise rather than ignite.
