Masterson's numbers across eight URC appearances are defined by his defensive output, averaging six and a half tackles per match and peaking at 17 in a single game — figures that point to a high-intensity, high-volume role at the breakdown and in the wider defensive line. His carrying is modest but purposeful, suggesting he is used selectively rather than as a primary ball-carrier. The combination of sustained tackle numbers and consistent minutes on the field underlines a player who holds defensive shape as his primary function.
