Lockett's match data tells the story of a lock defined by his defensive workload — averaging over eight tackles per game across his appearances in the Champions Cup and Premiership, with single-game peaks of 18 that suggest he can anchor a defensive structure under sustained pressure. His carrying is functional rather than flashy, contributing consistently to the gainline without dominating ball-in-hand statistics. Across nearly 800 minutes of top-level rugby, it is his reliability at the breakdown and in the collision that stands out as his primary currency.
