Across 84 matches Horn has built a profile defined by consistent, high-volume output on both sides of the ball, accumulating over 2 300 metres with the ball in hand while completing more than 600 tackles. His per-game averages of around five carries and seven tackles reflect a number 8 who contributes steadily across the full 80 minutes rather than in bursts, and peaks of 15 carries and 25 tackles in a single game underline the ceiling he can reach when called upon. Add 28 tries to that foundation and the data points to a forward who combines physicality at the gainline with a genuine threat around the fringes.
Born on 24 May 1999, Francke is 27 years old, stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 106kg.
