Across 56 matches Lucu combines a consistently high tackle count — averaging nearly seven per game with a single-match peak of 17 — with the work rate of a player who contributes well beyond the base of the scrum. His carrying numbers tell a similar story: modest volume per game but meaningful yardage, with one performance reaching 100 metres, underlining that he can hurt teams in open play when the opportunity arises. Three player-of-the-match awards across a varied competition slate point to a scrum half who rises in high-stakes environments.
