Across five U20 Championship appearances, Donnelly's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution — averaging five tackles per match and amassing 25 in total, numbers that point to a prop heavily involved in the loose defensive picture. His carry count is modest and his metres negligible, which is consistent with a tight forward used primarily for set-piece grunt and defensive grunt rather than ball-in-hand work. His best single-game showing of nine tackles underlines that his ceiling in this dataset is as a high-volume defender.
