Across 21 Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Adamson has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging nine tackles per game and reaching a single-match peak of 26 — figures that point to a player consistently asked to shore up the defensive line late in contests. His carrying numbers are modest by volume, but a best of 38 metres in a single outing suggests he can make his limited ball-in-hand opportunities count. The data paints a picture of a specialist impact forward whose primary value is measured in metres stopped rather than metres gained.
