Romao's match data across 11 appearances tells a clear story: he is brought on to defend, and he does it at an exceptionally high rate, averaging over seven tackles per game with single-match peaks as high as 22. His carrying contribution is modest but consistent, suggesting his primary value as a replacement lies in shoring up the defensive line rather than generating go-forward ball. A solitary player-of-the-match award across competitions spanning the Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship indicates he is capable of decisive individual performances when the moments demand it.
Born on 28 July 2005, Matt is 21 years old, stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 96kg.
