Across his four Rugby World Cup appearances, Eissmann contributes primarily through his defensive work, averaging 6.5 tackles per match and topping out at 9 in a single game — figures that point to a consistent, high-volume presence at the breakdown and in the channel. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role keeps him closer to the set-piece and defensive line than to ball-carrying duties. The pattern across these matches is clear: he earns his minutes through reliability in contact defence rather than with ball in hand.
