Across 34 matches Sotutu has established himself as a high-usage ball-carrier, averaging over nine carries and nearly 30 metres per game — numbers that point to a forward who is central to his team's attacking structure rather than a peripheral contributor. His tackle count of almost eight per match underlines that his workload is equally demanding without the ball, and single-game peaks of 18 carries and 19 tackles indicate he can sustain elite output across a full contest. With over a thousand metres carried and more than 260 tackles in the dataset, the volume alone signals a player who logs genuine front-line minutes at number eight.
