Owen's tackle count stands as his defining trait — averaging seven per match across 32 appearances, with a single-game peak of 17, he is a consistent defensive presence in both Premiership and Champions Cup rugby. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliable metres through the phases without dominating the ball-in-hand statistics. The volume of minutes accumulated underlines how regularly he features as a trusted option in the forward mix.
