Across 34 appearances as a replacement, Ruiz consistently contributes both in attack and defence, averaging over five tackles and nearly four carries per outing. His tackling volume is the standout trait, with a single-game peak of 25 suggesting he can absorb heavy defensive workloads when introduced. Five tries from the bench add a meaningful attacking dimension to what the numbers show is primarily a workhorse role.
