Across 35 matches Rizzoli has built a profile defined primarily by his defensive output, averaging nearly four tackles per game and accumulating 137 in total — a volume that speaks to consistent front-line involvement throughout the contest. His carrying numbers are modest and workmanlike rather than explosive, reflecting the controlled, low-gain role a loosehead typically plays within a forward structure. A peak of 12 tackles and 10 carries in a single outing shows he can step up his work rate meaningfully when the game demands it.
