Wallis's output across his Rugby World Cup appearances is defined almost entirely by his defensive workload, averaging close to eleven tackles per match and reaching twenty-one in a single game — figures that point to a player used heavily to protect his team's line. His carrying is limited in volume and gain, suggesting his role is built around physicality off the ball rather than ball-in-hand involvement. The consistency of that tackle count across four matches indicates a reliable, high-intensity presence rather than an occasional performer.
