Meggiato's output across six URC appearances is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging close to ten tackles per match and reaching 20 in a single game — figures that point to a player deployed primarily to protect the gainline rather than carry. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role keeps him largely off the ball in attack. When the opportunity does arise, he shows the ability to surge beyond the gain line, but his value to Benetton in these matches is built on defensive volume and consistency.
