Across 69 appearances Blacker has shown a reliable and active presence around the breakdown, contributing defensively with a steady tackle workload that underlines his commitment to the team's defensive structure. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, as expected of a scrum half, yet his best individual outings — reaching 8 carries and 81 metres in a single match — demonstrate the capacity to impose himself physically when the game demands it. Nine tries over this sample add a genuine attacking dimension to his profile, suggesting he is not simply a service player but one who looks to threaten the line.
