Across 36 United Rugby Championship appearances, Arhip's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work — averaging six tackles per match and topping out at 24 in a single game, a figure that underlines his capacity to carry a significant defensive load. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand demands placed on him within Cardiff's system. The consistency of his minutes and tackle volumes point to a prop used primarily as a set-piece and defensive resource.
