Across 64 matches, Zilocchi's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging four tackles per game and accumulating 259 in total — a volume that underlines how central he is to his team's defensive structure at tighthead prop. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand responsibility typically asked of a specialist tight forward, though peak games of seven carries and 15 tackles show he can contribute meaningfully on both sides of the ball when required. The consistency across Challenge Cup, Champions Cup, Six Nations, and United Rugby Championship rugby points to a player who holds his role reliably at a high level of competition.
