✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable impact carrier and tackler

Across 12 appearances as a replacement, O'Donovan consistently contributes in both directions, averaging close to two tackles per outing while adding carry metres in limited minutes. His best performances show a capacity to step up meaningfully — five carries for 30 metres and seven tackles in a single game points to genuine impact when given extended time. The numbers reflect a player who fulfils a defined bench role with discipline and consistency.
