Across 65 appearances as a replacement, Koch's match data is defined above all by his defensive output — 223 tackles at 3.4 per game paints the picture of a prop who arrives and immediately makes his presence felt at the breakdown and in the collisions. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the tight, functional role a replacement tighthead is asked to fill, yet his single-game peaks of 9 carries and 13 tackles show he can shoulder a heavier load when the moment demands it. Four tries across this sample add a finishing dimension that sits quietly beneath the defensive headline.
