Across 17 appearances as a replacement, Romao consistently delivers in the defensive channel, averaging over seven tackles per match with single-game peaks of 22 — figures that point to an player who hits the ground running when introduced. His carrying numbers are steady rather than spectacular, but a best of 13 carries and 44 metres in a single outing shows he can shoulder the ball effectively when called upon. One player-of-the-match award across competitions spanning the Challenge Cup, Champions Cup, and United Rugby Championship underlines that his contributions do not go unnoticed.
Born on 28 July 2005, Matt is 21 years old, stands 191cm (6′3″) tall and weighs 96kg.
