Kushnarev's tackle numbers stand out for a fly half, averaging five per match across his Rugby World Cup appearances and peaking at nine in a single game — a sign he is consistently involved in defensive organisation at the gain line. His carries are selective rather than frequent, but he generates meaningful metres when he does take the ball to hand, suggesting he picks his moments rather than looking to run at every opportunity.
