Across 15 appearances as a replacement, Abuladze contributes most meaningfully through his defensive work, averaging close to five tackles per outing and reaching double figures in his best performances. His carrying is purposeful rather than prolific, suggesting a role built around stabilising the team after he comes on rather than adding attacking momentum. The consistency of his tackle numbers across Challenge Cup, Premiership, Rugby World Cup, and Top 14 fixtures points to a reliable defensive presence at replacement level.
