Across nine appearances, Violi's workload reflects a scrum half deployed primarily to control and defend rather than carry — his tackle count is the standout metric, peaking at five in a single game. His carrying contribution is minimal in volume, suggesting his value lies in distributing quickly and winning the collision at the breakdown rather than taking the ball to the line. The data points to a disciplined, low-risk operator in the nine jersey.
