Boyle's numbers tell the story of a player trusted to shore up the defensive line when introduced, averaging close to eight tackles per appearance across Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby. His carrying load is modest but consistent, suggesting his primary impact is in stopping ball-carriers rather than generating go-forward. A peak single-game tally of 23 tackles underlines that, on his best days, he can carry a significant portion of a team's defensive workload on his own.
