Across 27 matches, Simmons has built a profile defined by consistency at the breakdown and in the defensive line, averaging nearly six tackles per game with single-match peaks of 13 — numbers that point to a lock who gives sustained physical effort throughout a contest. His carry numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value is in the unglamorous but essential work off the ball rather than as a go-forward runner. The volume of minutes accumulated across three major competitions underlines his durability and regular selection at this level.
