Donnell's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging nearly 12 per match across 25 URC appearances, with a single-game peak of 24, he carries a significant defensive workload for Cardiff's loose trio. His carrying game is efficient rather than dominant, contributing consistently at the gain line without being the primary ball-carrier, while four tries across the dataset show he reads the game well enough to finish when opportunities arise.
