Across 64 matches Burns has been a consistent presence rather than a flashy protagonist, averaging around five and a half tackles per game with single-match peaks of 14 — figures that point to a fly half who commits seriously to the defensive line rather than sheltering behind it. His carrying numbers are modest per game, as you would expect from a playmaker operating as a first receiver, but his best outings show he can take the ball to the gain line when required. The sheer volume of minutes accumulated across three competitions speaks to durability and consistent selection across a demanding fixture calendar.
