Across 26 matches his carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting a game built around distribution rather than personal metres gained. Yet his tackle count tells a more combative story — averaging over two per match across 580 minutes, with a single-game peak of 11, he engages defensively at a level that goes beyond the typical fly-half role. His try return of seven across this dataset adds a meaningful threat dimension to an otherwise quietly efficient positional profile.
