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

Across 77 matches, Sebastian has built a profile defined by reliability rather than flash — averaging close to five tackles per game from the tighthead position speaks to a player who does the unglamorous defensive work consistently. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, as you'd expect from a prop, but peak showings of 12 carries and 33 metres in a single match demonstrate he can be a genuine ball-carrying threat when called upon. Eight tries across this dataset is a notable return for a front-rower, adding an attacking dimension that goes beyond the typical tighthead contribution.
