Across three Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Quaglio's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging five tackles per match and reaching eight in his best outing. His carrying is minimal and yields no metres gained, pointing to a role built around physicality at the breakdown and in the defensive line rather than ball-carrying. The consistency of his tackle numbers across limited minutes suggests he arrives on the field with a clear defensive mandate.
