Forde's numbers across 14 URC matches paint a picture of a centre defined by high-volume involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging over nine carries and nine tackles per game. His carrying consistently gains ground rather than merely recycling, while his tackle output places him among the more defensively active midfielders in the dataset. The combination of sustained carrying metres and defensive workload across nearly 900 minutes suggests a player built for the demanding physicality of test-level club rugby.
