Shioshvili's numbers paint a picture of a high-impact number 8 who commands significant ball-carrying responsibility while remaining a consistent defensive presence — averaging close to eight tackles per match alongside meaningful metres gained. His try-scoring return across the dataset underlines a knack for finishing, and his peak outputs of 13 carries, 95 metres, and 18 tackles in a single match suggest he can impose himself on games at the highest level. Across three competitions, that consistency points to a player who holds genuine carrying and defensive load rather than filling a peripheral role.
