Across 50 matches his tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging 5.6 per game with a single-match peak of 19, he carries a significant defensive workload at the breakdown and in open play. He is no passenger with ball in hand either, having crossed for 17 tries in the data set, which points to a flanker who consistently arrives at the right place at the right time. His carrying is measured rather than dominant in volume, but the efficiency of his metres suggest he picks his moments well rather than taking on contact indiscriminately.
