Across 49 matches and over 1,600 minutes of action, Riccioni's output is defined above all by his defensive workload — averaging more than four tackles per game, with a single-match peak of 13, he consistently operates as a high-volume, reliable presence in the front-row defensive structure. His carrying numbers reflect a prop used selectively in the tight, contributing steadily rather than explosively, though his best individual carrying performances show he can step up when called upon. The breadth of competitions covered — from Six Nations to World Cup to European club rugby — underlines the consistency of that defensive profile across varied levels of the game.
