Across 97 matches and nearly 4,500 minutes of action, Ruzza presents as a high-volume contributor whose consistency at the breakdown and in defence defines his value — averaging close to six tackles per outing across a career spanning multiple top-tier competitions. His carry numbers are workmanlike rather than explosive, but a single-game peak of 97 metres and 12 carries shows he has the capacity to shift up when the game demands it. Seven tries from a lock across this sample also suggests he reads the game well enough to arrive at the right moments.
