Across 11 appearances in three competitions, Neild's numbers tell the story of a flanker built around defensive output — his tackle count is the defining feature of his game, averaging over five per match with a single-game peak of 18 that underlines his capacity to dominate in that phase. His carrying role is modest by volume, suggesting he operates primarily as a support runner and link rather than a ball-carrying threat. The consistency of his defensive contribution across Challenge Cup, Premiership, and United Rugby Championship fixtures points to a player who holds his shape and commits fully regardless of the competition.
