Across seven Rugby World Cup appearances, Sanguinetti functions primarily as a defensive cornerstone, averaging over seven tackles per match and topping out at eleven in a single game — numbers that point to a prop heavily involved in the defensive line. His carrying contribution is modest, with just under three metres gained per match, suggesting his value lies in physicality at the breakdown and set-piece rather than ball-in-hand exploitation. The consistency of his tackle counts across nearly 400 minutes of test rugby reflects a player who brings reliable defensive presence throughout his time on the field.
