Across four Rugby World Cup appearances, Iftimiciuc's output is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball, averaging close to seven tackles per match and reaching double figures in his best performance. His carrying is minimal and short-gained, pointing to a role built around set-piece presence and defensive duty rather than ball-in-hand contribution. That tackle consistency across 170 minutes reflects a lock used primarily to protect and contest rather than to carry the game forward.
