Dessaigne's match data tells the story of a high-volume defensive workhorse, averaging over eight tackles per game across 14 appearances in top-level competition. His carrying numbers are modest but efficient, suggesting a forward used primarily to maintain momentum rather than break the line — though his single-game peaks of 34 metres and 16 tackles show he can dominate when called upon. Two tries from limited touches indicate he reads the game well close to the breakdown.
