Across 54 matches Francis averages over six tackles per game, and his peak of 19 in a single outing signals the kind of defensive workload that defines a front-row enforcer. His carrying numbers are modest by design — under one carry per match — which speaks to a role built around set-piece presence and defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand impact. The two tries across this sample are incidental; it is the cumulative 329 tackles over 2130 minutes that tell the real story of his contribution.
