Across 24 matches in the Challenge Cup and Top 14, Tanguy plays a disciplined, workmanlike role — his tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution, averaging five per game with a single-match peak of nine. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, suggesting he is deployed primarily as a structural forward who wins collisions and secures the gain line rather than breaks it. The consistency of his output across over a thousand minutes of rugby points to a lock who provides reliable set-piece presence and defensive solidity week on week.
