Across 58 appearances, Deaves stands out primarily as a defensive workhorse, averaging nearly 10 tackles per match and posting a single-game high of 27 — figures that point to a flanker trusted to lead defensive efforts week in, week out. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but his consistency across over 2500 minutes of rugby suggests a player who fulfils a demanding, high-volume role reliably. The five tries on record indicate he reads the game well enough to contribute at the attacking end when opportunities present themselves.
