Leavasa's numbers tell the story of a player built around defensive commitment — averaging close to six tackles per match across his nine URC appearances, with a single-game peak of 17 tackles that underlines his capacity to carry an enormous share of the defensive burden. His carrying game is modest in volume and gain, suggesting his primary value to Zebre comes through his work without the ball rather than as a ball-carrier. The consistency of his tackle output across 391 minutes points to a reliable, high-effort presence at the breakdown and in the defensive line.
