Kvatadze's numbers across six Challenge Cup appearances paint a picture of a consistent, high-volume forward who anchors his team's defensive effort — averaging over nine tackles per match is a serious workload for a hooker. He contributes reliably with ball in hand too, racking up carries at a steady rate and chipping in with two tries. His best outings show he can push those numbers even higher, suggesting he steps up when the match demands it.
