Across 12 matches, Douglas has built his contribution almost entirely through defensive output, averaging close to five tackles per game and reaching double figures in his best performances. His carrying load is deliberately light — rarely used as a ball-carrier, and when he is, gains are modest — which points to a role defined by set-piece presence and defensive grunt rather than carrying threat. The consistency of his tackle numbers across Champions Cup and Top 14 suggests a reliable defensive operator within Stade Rochelais's forward structure.
