Caine's numbers tell the story of a high-impact replacement built around defensive work, averaging over seven tackles per appearance across his 13 outings in Champions Cup and Premiership action. His carry counts are modest in volume but his peak outputs — up to eight carries and 18 tackles in a single match — show he can shift the dial significantly when called upon. The bulk of his contribution lies in the defensive trenches, where his tackle numbers accumulate quickly within limited minutes on the field.
