Across 63 matches and over 4,300 minutes of action, Carter's output is defined above all by his defensive workload — averaging 12.5 tackles per game across competitions as varied as the Six Nations and United Rugby Championship speaks to a lock who is consistently asked to do the hard yards. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably in the tight with around five carries a match, while his best individual performances show he can step up both with ball in hand and in the defensive line when the occasion demands.
