Across 19 matches Pearson has been one of the more consistently involved forwards in the dataset, averaging over ten tackles and eight carries per game — figures that point to a flanker used heavily on both sides of the ball. His defensive output stands out in particular, with a single-game peak of 17 tackles underlining his capacity to shoulder a substantial workload when the pressure is on. While his carry numbers are reliable rather than explosive, the consistency across Champions Cup and Premiership rugby suggests a player trusted to do the hard yards in varied competition.
