Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 75 matches Ratti has built a profile defined by relentless consistency on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight carries and eight tackles per game across more than 4600 minutes of rugby. His best defensive output of 25 tackles in a single match underlines the ceiling of his work rate, while his carrying numbers suggest a player who is central to his team's forward momentum rather than a peripheral contributor. The accumulation of over 1000 metres with the ball in hand confirms he is trusted to do the hard yards in tight spaces.
