Across 12 United Rugby Championship appearances, Tierney-Martin functions as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging over seven tackles per match with single-game peaks that push into the twenties — a marker of genuine workrate at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers are consistent rather than explosive, suggesting a player who earns metres through reliability and physicality rather than line-breaking frequency. Two tries across the sample indicate he contributes at the gainline when opportunities present themselves.
