Richardson's workload across 41 matches reveals a flanker who contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging over ten tackles and seven carries per game throughout Champions Cup and URC competition. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game peak of 24 tackles underlining his capacity to shoulder an enormous share of the contact burden. While his carrying game is steady rather than explosive, accumulating 580 metres over 288 carries points to a player who earns his ground through relentless involvement rather than isolated moments of brilliance.
