Guillard's numbers paint a picture of a lock who earns his minutes through sheer volume of work — averaging over ten tackles per match across 29 appearances, with single-game peaks of 19, points to a player who is consistently central to defensive structures. He complements that defensive output with reliable ball-carrying, contributing nearly seven carries a game and accumulating over 360 metres in total, suggesting a forward who makes hard yards rather than spectacular ones. His three tries across this sample are secondary to the grind work that defines his profile.
