Across 60 matches Oliver averages over ten tackles per game, a volume that marks him as a central figure in Connacht's defensive structure rather than a peripheral one. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of consistent involvement, with his best single-game outputs — 21 carries and 23 tackles — showing he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when the occasion demands. Six tries from a player this deeply embedded in the contact exchanges further underlines his threat beyond the breakdown.
