Across 36 matches Zani has built a reputation as a reliable defensive presence, averaging over three tackles per game and peaking at 11 in a single outing — numbers that reflect a prop who consistently puts in the hard yards at the breakdown and in the channels. His carrying role is modest by design, with just over one carry per match, yet his three tries across the dataset suggest he times his arrivals in attack with purpose. The cumulative picture is of a loosehead who earns his minutes through defensive discipline rather than ball-in-hand ambition.
