Across 25 matches, Urdapilleta consistently contributes well above the average for a fly half in the tackle count, averaging nearly six per game with a single-match peak of 13 — numbers that point to a 10 who takes genuine defensive ownership rather than offloading that burden to his forwards. His carrying is measured and purposeful, averaging just under 11 metres per outing, suggesting he uses the ball to keep the game moving rather than seeking yards for their own sake. The combination of high tackle volume and steady ball-in-hand involvement across Champions Cup, Top 14, and international rugby indicates a reliable, systems-oriented operator in the playmaking position.
