Across 44 appearances as a replacement, Slimani's output is defined by his defensive work rate, averaging nearly four tackles per match and surging as high as 12 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest by design — under two per game — reflecting the controlled, set-piece and defence-first role typical of a front-row finisher. The consistency of that tackle contribution across Champions Cup, World Cup, Top 14, and URC competition points to a player who brings reliable physicality whenever introduced.
