Across four Rugby World Cup appearances, Iancu's output is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — his tackle numbers comfortably outweigh his involvement in the carry game, pointing to a lock deployed primarily for defensive reliability and set-piece presence. His carrying contribution is modest in both frequency and gain, suggesting his value to Romania is built in the collisions and contests that don't show up in metres made. When he does engage in open play, his best performances show he can contribute across both phases, but the defensive workload remains the clearest signal of his role.
