Echegaray is a consistent ball-carrier at full back, averaging close to nine carries and over 40 metres per game across his Top 14 appearances — numbers that point to a player regularly used as an attacking outlet rather than a last line of defence. His best outings show he can push beyond those averages meaningfully, with 11 carries and 78 metres in a single match demonstrating genuine upside in his running game. His tackle count is modest, which reflects either a positional role that keeps him out of heavy defensive traffic or a selective involvement at the contact line.
