Renata's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging close to nine per match across fifteen Super Rugby appearances points to a prop who is heavily involved in the defensive structure well beyond his scrummaging duties. His carry load is consistent rather than explosive, suggesting he is used as a reliable gain-line option rather than a strike runner, though his best single-game outputs show he can step up when called upon. Two tries across this sample add a subtle attacking dimension to what is clearly a defence-first workload.
