Across 27 matches Connon has been a consistent workhorse at fly half, contributing meaningfully with ball in hand and holding his own in the defensive line — his tackle numbers in particular sit well above what you would typically expect from a ten. He is not a headline try-scorer, but his carrying and contact work suggest a player who is deeply involved in the structure of each game rather than operating on the periphery. His best individual performances — 62 metres gained and 12 tackles in a single match — point to a fly half who can carry a heavy workload when the team demands it.
