Across 75 matches and over 3,200 minutes of action, Ferrari's output is defined above all by his defensive work rate — averaging more than five tackles per game and peaking at 18 in a single outing, numbers that speak to a prop who carries a heavy defensive burden well beyond the set piece. His carrying role is measured and functional rather than expansive, used sparingly to keep the ball alive rather than to make ground, which is consistent with what you expect from a tighthead operating at the highest levels of European and international rugby. That one Player of the Match award hints at a ceiling that surfaces when conditions demand it.
