Across nine United Rugby Championship appearances, Ceciliani's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging close to four tackles per match and reaching 14 in a single outing. His carrying is minimal and functional rather than prominent, suggesting his role is built around hard graft at the breakdown and keeping the gain line intact. The consistency of his tackle numbers across 297 minutes points to a hooker who earns his minutes through defensive reliability.
