Across 85 matches Horn has built a profile defined by consistent volume on both sides of the ball, averaging over seven tackles per game alongside regular carrying duties that have yielded more than 2 300 metres in total. His try-scoring return of 28 demonstrates a consistent threat at the breakdown and in close quarters, while single-game peaks of 25 tackles and 144 metres signal the capacity to dominate when matches demand it. The data points to a Number 8 who shoulders a heavy workload week after week rather than one who trades on occasional headline performances.
