Across 23 matches Allen has been a prolific tackler, averaging 8.6 per game and reaching as many as 23 in a single outing — figures that point to a flanker who anchors the defensive line. He contributes steadily in the carry game, picking up metres reliably rather than explosively, with his best game showing the capacity to combine high-volume ball-carrying with that same defensive workload. His consistency across Challenge Cup and Top 14 football suggests a player built for the demands of regular high-intensity minutes.
