Across 30 matches Oviedo functions as a high-volume workhorse at the back of the scrum, averaging over eight carries and better than 30 metres per game — figures that point to a player central to his team's forward momentum rather than a peripheral option. His tackle numbers are equally demanding, with nearly eight per match and a single-game peak of 18, suggesting he carries the same workload defensively as he does with ball in hand. The seven tries over this sample add a finishing dimension that makes him a genuine threat around the fringes.
