Across 72 matches in the Challenge Cup and United Rugby Championship, Ratti has established himself as a high-volume operator on both sides of the ball, consistently racking up carries and tackles in numbers that point to a central role in his team's work-rate. His defensive output is particularly striking — averaging close to nine tackles per match with a recorded single-game peak of 25 — while his carrying figures suggest a player who is trusted to shift ball forward through contact rather than around it. The combination of those two traits across over 4600 minutes of rugby tells the story of a flanker built for the grind.
James Ratti is a professional rugby union flanker registered with the Ospreys, the South Africa-based franchise. He forms part of the matchday squad and is tasked with hunting turnovers and carrying as a loose forward.
