Carrera's tackle numbers stand out as his defining contribution — averaging over eight tackles per match and peaking at 19 in a single game points to a lock who prioritises defensive work rate above all else. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, averaging around 14 metres per outing, which suggests a functional ball-carrier used to shift the gain line rather than break it. Across 354 minutes of URC rugby, his consistency in both channels marks him as a reliable presence at the set-piece and breakdown.
