Across nine appearances in Challenge Cup and Top 14 action, Somkhishvili has established himself as a reliable impact replacement whose defensive output is his clearest calling card, averaging close to four tackles per outing. His carrying numbers are modest in both volume and gain, suggesting his primary value when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than to provide ball-in-hand momentum. His best individual performances show he can reach eight tackles and eight carries in a single game, indicating he has the capacity to lift his all-round contribution when given the opportunity.
