Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Carry-heavy, consistent attacking fullback

O'Brien is a high-volume ball carrier who regularly takes the game on from deep, averaging over seven carries and 34 metres per match across 15 United Rugby Championship appearances. His best individual performances — reaching 12 carries and 70 metres in a single game — show he can shift up a gear when given the opportunity. His tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value sits firmly in attack rather than defensive workload.
