Rabut combines high carry volumes with an exceptional tackle output, averaging nearly ten tackles per match alongside consistent ball-carrying contributions — a workload that points to a centre relied upon on both sides of the ball. His best outings demonstrate the capacity to step up significantly, reaching sixteen tackles and seventeen carries in a single game, suggesting he elevates under pressure. Across six Top 14 appearances, the consistency of those numbers reflects a player trusted to do the hard yards in contact rather than operate on the periphery.
