Across 25 matches and nearly a thousand minutes of rugby, Martin emerges as a lock who earns his place through sheer volume of work — consistently hitting carries and tackles at a rate that speaks to a player deeply involved in the contest rather than one who drifts to its edges. His per-match tackle count of six is the defining number here, underpinning a defensive commitment that holds up across competitions as varied as the Champions Cup, Six Nations, and a Rugby World Cup. When the moments demand more, he answers — single-game peaks of 17 tackles and 16 carries show he has the capacity to shift from reliable to dominant.
