Across four Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Perov's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contributions — averaging close to six tackles per match and accumulating 23 in total. His carrying is minimal and used sparingly, suggesting his primary function on the field is to provide defensive reinforcement rather than ball-carrying impact. At his best he has recorded nine tackles in a single outing, underlining that his value is concentrated in his work without the ball.
