Darry's averages of nearly ten tackles and six-and-a-half carries per match across 25 games paint the picture of a lock who consistently does the unglamorous work that holds a forward pack together. His capacity to reach 20 tackles and 13 carries in a single outing shows he can shift into a higher gear when the contest demands it. Six tries from a tight forward add a threatening dimension to what is otherwise a profile built on durability and defensive reliability.
