Across 46 matches and nearly 1,900 minutes of action, Underhill's tackle numbers define his value — averaging over seven per game with a single-match peak of 24, he is consistently one of the heaviest defensive contributors on the park. His carrying is functional rather than dominant, providing short-range momentum at roughly four carries per game, though his ability to reach 15 carries in a single outing shows he can shift into a more ball-carrying role when required. Five tries across this dataset add a finishing dimension that prevents opposition teams from defending him purely as a tackler.
