Across 18 matches, Luatua's tackle numbers stand out most — averaging 6.6 per game with a single-match peak of 24, he is consistently one of the hardest-working defenders on the park. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliable metres game after game, and his ability to reach double figures in both carries and tackles in the same match speaks to an engine that rarely switches off.
