Allen's impact across his three appearances is built almost entirely on defensive output, averaging over four tackles per match as a replacement and reaching eight in a single outing. His carry numbers are modest, pointing to a role defined by physicality at the breakdown and defensive line rather than ball-carrying threat. The consistency of his tackle contribution across Super Rugby and United Rugby Championship suggests a reliable defensive option when introduced from the bench.
