Across three United Rugby Championship appearances, Castellano has contributed more as a defensive presence than a ball-carrier, averaging close to two tackles per match while his carry numbers remain modest and low-gain. His usage reflects a prop deployed primarily to do the hard work at the breakdown and in the defensive line rather than to carry ball into space. The data points to a specialist front-row operator whose value is measured in structure and physicality rather than metres made.
