Across 20 Top 14 appearances, Hicks has established himself as a high-volume tackler, averaging over seven tackles per match with a single-game peak of 14 — figures that point to a flanker heavily trusted in defensive structure. He contributes reliably with ball in hand, picking up metres consistently across the season rather than in isolated bursts, suggesting a workhorse carrying role rather than a specialist offload or break threat. His minute tally reflects genuine involvement, and his numbers hold steady across a meaningful sample of top-flight rugby.
