Across 28 matches, Yato consistently drives the gain line and puts his hand up on both sides of the ball — his averages of eight carries and nearly six tackles per game reflect a player who is always in the thick of things. His try-scoring record of 11 tries from the forward position speaks to genuine finishing instinct at the breakdown and beyond. When needed, he can shift into a higher gear entirely, with single-game peaks of 20 carries and 18 tackles underlining a capacity to dominate on his day.
