Savage's numbers tell the story of a lock built around defensive output — averaging over ten tackles per match across his eight Super Rugby appearances points to a player who is consistently at the coalface of his team's defensive efforts.

That single-game peak of 25 tackles underlines his capacity to shoulder a heavy defensive load when the pressure is on.
