Across 79 appearances, Vellacott contributes consistently as both a ball-carrier and a defender, with his try tally of 19 underscoring a sharp eye for the line that you rarely see from a scrum half. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, which is typical of the position, but his peak outputs — 8 carries and 86 metres in a single match — reveal the capacity to take the game on when the moment demands it. His tackle figures are similarly measured week to week, yet that single-game high of 10 suggests he is capable of stepping up his defensive workload significantly under pressure.
