Across 45 matches Swain stands out primarily as a defensive anchor, averaging seven tackles per game with single-match peaks of 22 — figures that speak to a lock who is consistently involved and dependable under pressure. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing around 3-4 involvements per game, though his best outings show he can push well beyond that when called upon. The combination of high tackle volumes and reliable ball-carrying across Champions Cup, Super Rugby, The Rugby Championship and Top 14 paints a picture of a lock built for sustained, cross-competition workload.
