Across 34 matches, Yato combines consistent ball-carrying volume with a strong finishing record of 15 tries, making him an unusually productive threat for a forward. His tackling numbers hold up match after match, and his peak outputs — nearly 20 carries and close to 100 metres in a single game — point to a player who can take over a contest when conditions suit. He earns his minutes through physicality at both ends of the field.
