Coxon's numbers tell the story of a high-impact replacement whose defensive contribution drives his value — averaging over nine tackles per appearance across eleven Super Rugby matches is a demanding output for a forward coming off the bench. His carrying game is used economically, typically deployed in short bursts to shift momentum rather than accumulate metres, with his best single-game return of 21 tackles underscoring the ceiling of his defensive work-rate. The combination of consistent tackle volume and controlled carrying suggests a specialist role built around defensive reliability and controlled aggression at the breakdown.
