Bianchi's numbers across eight United Rugby Championship appearances paint a clear picture of a tackle-first flanker — averaging over ten tackles per match, with a single-game peak of 26, he carries a heavy defensive workload week in, week out. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, typically used to shift the ball short rather than make ground, which underlines his primary value as a defensive linchpin at the breakdown.
