Inagaki's tackle numbers stand out immediately for a prop — averaging over ten per match across nine World Cup appearances, with a single-game peak of fourteen, he contributes far beyond the set piece in the defensive line. His carrying is consistent rather than explosive, accumulating metres reliably at around five per game, while his best outing of eleven carries and fifteen metres shows he can take on a greater ball-carrying load when required. The volume of minutes he has clocked underlines how regularly he has been trusted to stay on the field deep into matches.
