Coming off the bench across three Rugby World Cup appearances, Sozonov consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in defence, with his best single-game outputs of four carries and five tackles highlighting his capacity to make a meaningful dent when introduced. His carrying numbers point to a player used to gain hard yards in tight channels rather than create volume, while his tackle contributions suggest defensive reliability is central to his impact role. Over 109 minutes of Rugby World Cup football, he has shown the consistency expected of a trusted replacement.
