Blade contributes reliably in both directions, averaging just under three and a half carries and close to three tackles per match across his five URC appearances. His best outings show genuine upside — reaching five carries, 30 metres, and six tackles in a single game — suggesting he can step up his influence when called upon. The try return adds a further attacking dimension to what the numbers paint as a well-rounded, industrious scrum half.
