Martins is defined first and for most by his tackling output, averaging over 12 per match across nine appearances — a rate that points to a player who is heavily involved in the defensive structure at flanker. He complements that defensive work with reliable carries, consistently gaining ground each match, and his best performances show the capacity to push well beyond his averages in both departments. Two tries across the sample add a finishing dimension to a profile built largely on high-volume, high-effort contributions across competitions.
