Across 48 matches, Rowlands averages over eight tackles per game — a figure that points to a lock who is consistently asked to do heavy defensive work at the heart of the pack. His carrying numbers are modest but functional, suggesting his value lies far more in stopping ball carriers than moving them. A single-game peak of 27 tackles underlines that when the pressure is on, he can shoulder an extraordinary defensive burden.
