Across 60 matches, Montoya averages over six tackles per game — a rate that, combined with a single-game peak of 28, points to a hooker who operates as a genuine defensive cornerstone rather than a peripheral figure. His 17 tries from 189 carries reflect consistent threat around the fringes, with the capacity to spike sharply, as his 11-carry, 42-metre best game demonstrates. The volume of minutes logged across multiple major competitions underlines just how consistently he is called upon at the highest level.
