Across more than a hundred matches, Papier has built a consistent record as a scrum half who contributes meaningfully with ball in hand, averaging nearly 20 metres per game from a relatively lean carry count — a ratio that points to direct, efficient running lines rather than volume. His try-scoring return of 28 across the dataset underlines a genuine threat around the fringes, while single-game peaks of 10 carries, over 100 metres, and 9 tackles show he can elevate significantly when the game demands it. His tackle numbers are steady rather than dominant, reflecting the carrying and distributing demands placed on him rather than a primary defensive workload.
