Across 19 matches Vellacott has shown a consistent ability to contribute beyond the base scrum-half role, posting six tries and averaging over 21 metres per game with the ball in hand. His carrying numbers suggest a player who picks his moments rather than forcing the issue, yet his peak outputs — 78 metres and eight tackles in a single outing — point to genuine match-defining capability when conditions demand it. Defensively he is reliable without being prolific, reflecting the positioning discipline expected of a nine operating across top-tier competitions.
