Furbank contributes well beyond the traditional full-back remit, averaging over 45 metres per game from the carry across Champions Cup, Premiership and Six Nations football — a volume that points to a player regularly entering the line rather than sitting behind it. His nine tries across 22 matches reflect how that involvement translates into genuine attacking output. His best individual performances, pushing close to 140 metres and 17 carries in a single game, show he has the capacity to take over a match when given the opportunity.
