Across 62 matches Lucchesi stands out as a high-volume tackler, averaging seven per game with single-match peaks of 22, which points to a hooker who takes on significant defensive responsibility rather than operating on the periphery. He contributes steadily in the carry game too, and his 13 tries across the dataset show he consistently finds himself in scoring positions around the breakdown and at the maul. The combination of those traits across multiple competitions suggests a player who is heavily involved in the physical contest on both sides of the ball.
