Across more than 100 matches, Cannone is defined by his consistency at the breakdown and his defensive workrate, averaging over six tackles per game across a substantial body of international and club rugby. His carrying figures are steady rather than spectacular, but his peak outputs — nearly 20 carries and 31 tackles in a single match — reveal a player capable of shouldering a dominant physical burden when required. That combination of reliable volume and occasional high-intensity explosions marks him as a trusted forward who earns his minutes through graft.
