Dun's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging 7.8 per match across 14 appearances, with a single-game peak of 16, he carries a heavy defensive load at lock. His carrying is consistent rather than explosive, contributing reliably through contact with the ball in hand while his tackle volume suggests he is heavily involved in the collisions that define his position. Across nearly 900 minutes of Champions Cup and Premiership rugby, the data points to a forward who earns his minutes through sheer work-rate on both sides of the ball.
