Rasal's tackle count is the defining feature of his data, averaging seven per match and peaking at 14 in a single game — figures that point to a centre who prioritises defensive structure over ball-carrying volume. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role leans heavily toward containment and line defence rather than acting as a primary go-forward option. Across seven matches at Challenge Cup, Champions Cup, and World Rugby U20 Championship level, his defensive workload has been both consistent and substantial.
