Across 16 appearances for Leinster, Deeny's output is defined above all by his tackle numbers — averaging over ten per match across 900 minutes of Champions Cup and URC rugby, with a single-game peak of 20. He contributes reliably with ball in hand, averaging close to five carries per outing, suggesting a lock who earns his minutes through work-rate and physicality rather than flashy ball-carrying. His consistency across both competitions points to a player who performs a high-volume, low-variance role in the tight exchanges.
