Scelzo operates as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging nearly six tackles per match across his Top 14 appearances — a figure that underlines his commitment to the collision areas. His carrying numbers are solid rather than spectacular, though his best outings show he can combine double-digit metres with a double-figure tackle count in the same game, pointing to a Number 8 who contributes across both phases. Two tries from nine matches add a finishing dimension to what is primarily a hard-working, contest-oriented profile.
