Across 34 matches, Palu sustains an exceptional defensive workload, averaging over eight tackles per game with single-game peaks of 16 — a figure that reflects genuine impact at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of consistency rather than explosion, accumulating meaningful metres through high-volume work across Champions Cup, Top 14, and Six Nations competition. He is the kind of lock whose value is built on reliability across nearly 2 000 minutes of top-level rugby.
