Across three Rugby World Cup appearances, Guedes demonstrates an unusually heavy carrying load for a full back, averaging nearly 13 carries and close to 100 metres per match. His best outing — 17 carries for 153 metres — points to a player consistently used as a primary ball-runner rather than a last line of defence. His tackle count is minimal, reinforcing that his value in this dataset is almost entirely built through his work with ball in hand.
