Sanconnie's averages of over seven tackles per match across 15 appearances paint a clear picture of a flanker whose primary value lies in his defensive work rate and consistency. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, suggesting a role built around structure rather than ball-in-hand threat. When the game demands it, he can step up significantly — his single-match peaks of 15 tackles and 16 metres gained show the capacity to dominate an outing on both sides of the ball.
