Tkhilaishvili's output across his three Rugby World Cup appearances is defined almost entirely by his tackle work, averaging nine per match and peaking at twelve in a single game — figures that point to a player used primarily to protect and disrupt rather than carry. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role keeps him close to the defensive line rather than in open ball-in-hand situations. When the game demands physicality and defensive discipline, he consistently delivers.
