Across 16 matches Hodgson has established himself as a high-volume defensive operator, averaging nine tackles per game and topping out at 17 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock who anchors the breakdown contest and does not shirk contact. His carrying work is steady rather than expansive, contributing close to five carries a match, with his value clearly concentrated in the defensive third. The consistency of his output across nearly a thousand minutes of Premiership and Six Nations rugby underlines his reliability as a set-piece and defensive resource.
