Across four appearances Crane has averaged nine tackles per match, a figure that points clearly to a defence-first hooker trusted to do the hard work at the breakdown and in the line. His carrying numbers are modest — rarely exceeding two or three attempts per game — suggesting his role is built around structure and physicality rather than ball-in-hand. When called upon to carry he has shown he can contribute meaningfully, with a single-game high of six carries underlining that the capacity is there when the team shape demands it.
