Richer's numbers tell the story of a flanker built around defensive reliability — averaging over seven tackles per match across three European appearances points to a player consistently involved at the breakdown and in the defensive line. His carrying is measured rather than expansive, contributing short, direct metres that suggest a role focused on maintaining possession and support rather than breaking the gain line. His best individual outings show he can combine double-digit tackles with meaningful carries in the same match, underlining a capacity to contribute on both sides of the ball.
