Across 65 matches Mathias has built a profile defined by consistent defensive output, averaging nearly seven tackles per game and accumulating over 440 in total — figures that underline his importance in the tight, physical exchanges a loosehead prop is expected to dominate. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but peak performances of 16 carries and 17 tackles in a single match show he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when the occasion demands it. Four tries over that span add a modest but genuine threat beyond the set piece.
