Els contributes consistently across both phases of play, averaging six carries and six tackles per match to form a reliable two-way presence at the breakdown. His carrying numbers suggest a player who takes the ball to contact regularly rather than seeking space, while his tackle output points to a flanker heavily involved in defensive structure. A single-game peak of 11 tackles and 13 carries underlines that he can step up his workload significantly when the match demands it.
