Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Metronomic carrier with defensive bite

Across 38 matches Donaldson shows a consistent willingness to put himself into contact, averaging nearly five carries per game and accumulating well over 800 metres with the ball in hand — figures that speak to an active, ball-carrying fly half rather than a purely distributing one. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis but his single-match peak of nine tackles indicates he can shoulder a genuine defensive workload when the game demands it. Six tries over the dataset adds a further scoring dimension to his profile.
