Waghorn's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining feature, averaging seven-and-a-half per match across Premiership and Champions Cup rugby, with an 18-tackle performance underlining his capacity to shoulder a heavy defensive workload. His carrying is reliable rather than explosive, contributing just over 21 metres per outing from around six carries, suggesting a role built on physicality and repetition rather than line-breaking. Across nearly 300 minutes of top-level rugby, he has shown the consistency of a centre who does the unglamorous work that holds a team structure together.
