Across 30 matches Tiberghien demonstrates a reliable presence in the backfield, averaging close to six carries and nearly 40 metres per game — numbers that point to a full back who is consistently involved in the attacking structure rather than one who waits on the periphery. His ability to reach 106 metres and 12 carries in a single outing shows there is genuine upside when the game opens up around him. Seven tries over this sample add a finishing dimension that complements his volume carrying work.
