Connon's tackle numbers stand out for a fly half, averaging nearly seven per match across his Premiership appearances and peaking at twelve in a single game — figures that suggest he operates as an active defensive organiser rather than a player who hides in the line. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing consistent metres per outing, with his best games showing he can take the ball to the line when needed. Over nearly 1200 minutes of Premiership rugby, the picture is one of durability and defensive commitment at ten.
