Ivanishvili's numbers tell the story of a specialist impact replacement whose primary value lies in defence — averaging four tackles per appearance across 11 matches is a meaningful output for someone entering games late. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, but he has shown the capacity to go well beyond his usual workload in standout performances, combining six carries and eight tackles in his best outings. Three tries from limited ball-in-hand involvement suggest he is clinical when opportunities present themselves near the line.
