Coming off the bench across five U20 Championship matches, Bird contributes reliably in both directions — averaging over four carries and four tackles per appearance. His ability to push past 20 metres per game as a replacement speaks to his effectiveness with ball in hand, and a single-game peak of 11 carries for 64 metres and nine tackles shows he can handle an extended, high-intensity shift when called upon.
