Iachizzi's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over five per match across nearly 700 minutes of rugby, with a single-game peak of 15, he is clearly deployed as a high-volume defensive workhorse in the tight. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, suggesting his primary value lies in defensive structure and set-piece presence rather than ball-in-hand dynamism. The consistency of his output across 19 matches in both Six Nations and URC competition points to a reliable, repeatable contributor at Test and top-club level.
