Sasaki has been a consistent presence at prop across all four matches, averaging over five tackles per game and posting a single-game high of ten — figures that point to a player who prioritises defensive workrate above all else. His carrying numbers are modest in metres gained, but the regularity of his involvement keeps him active in the contact area each time he takes the field. At 222 minutes played, his contribution to Japan U20's forward effort has been sustained throughout the championship.
