Nemsadze's output across his Rugby World Cup appearances is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — averaging over 11 tackles per match points to a player deployed primarily as a defensive workhorse at lock. His carrying numbers are modest in both volume and gain, suggesting his role keeps him close to the breakdown rather than operating as a ball-carrier. That tackle peak of 18 in a single game underlines just how heavily he can be leaned on when the defensive pressure is at its highest.
