Across three Top 14 appearances as a replacement, Iashagashvili averages ten tackles per match, a volume that points to a player deployed primarily to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. His carrying numbers are modest — roughly three carries and eight metres per outing — suggesting his impact is built around physicality at the breakdown and in the tackle rather than with ball in hand. A peak of 23 tackles in a single match underlines just how central defensive duty is to his contribution off the bench.
