Gerasimov brings dependable physicality to the midfield, averaging close to six tackles per match across his Rugby World Cup appearances — a rate that points to an active and committed defensive presence. His carrying numbers suggest a player who contributes steadily with ball in hand rather than seeking to dominate possession, with his best single-game outputs of seven carries for 18 metres reflecting a hard-working, direct style. The consistency of his involvement across all three matches underlines a centre who fulfils his defensive duties reliably while contributing to forward momentum.
