Across 18 Top 14 appearances, Ecochard's output reflects a scrum half who prioritises defensive contribution, averaging over four tackles per match with a single-game peak of 12 — a figure more typical of a loose forward than a nine. His carrying is measured rather than frequent, yet he consistently converts contact into forward metres, suggesting purposeful rather than speculative ball-running. The data points to a player who earns his minutes through reliability at the breakdown and defensive line rather than expansive attacking volume.
