Across nine appearances as a replacement, Hanson has contributed almost exclusively through his defensive work, averaging over one and a half tackles per outing without registering a single carry. His impact is built on reliability at the breakdown and in the defensive line rather than ball-in-hand involvement. The consistency of his tackling across Champions Cup and Premiership minutes points to a specialist impact role focused on protecting the gain line.
