O'Connell's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over seven per match across 11 appearances, with a single-game peak of 19, he carries a substantial defensive workload at lock. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing consistently around the fringes without being a primary ball-carrier. The combination of high tackle volume and reliable carry contribution points to a player who anchors the forward effort on both sides of the ball.
