Taylor's tackle numbers stand out across his three World Cup appearances, averaging nearly eight per match and peaking at ten in a single game — the profile of a centre who accepts defensive responsibility as a core part of his role. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing around 22 metres per match, with his best outing showing he can push that significantly higher when given the ball more frequently. Across 161 minutes of World Cup rugby, the consistency of his output on both sides of the ball marks him as a reliable, workmanlike presence in midfield.
