Across 29 matches Ferrari has built his profile almost entirely through defensive output, averaging over five tackles per game at prop — a position where most contributions go unnoticed in the stats sheet. His carrying is deliberately minimal, reflecting a tight-forward role focused on contest and collision rather than ball-in-hand metres, yet his single-game peaks of 18 tackles and six carries show he can elevate when the match demands it. That consistency over nearly a thousand minutes of Test and top-level club rugby underlines a player who does the unglamorous work with notable reliability.
