Across 55 matches Ford shows a disciplined, high-volume defensive contribution, averaging nearly four tackles per game with a single-match peak of 15, pointing to a fly half who shoulders genuine defensive responsibility rather than sitting on the periphery. His carrying numbers are modest by design — around three carries and 12 metres per match — yet a best of 84 metres in a single outing confirms he can punch through when the moment demands it. Two player-of-the-match awards across this sample reflect an ability to influence outcomes beyond what the per-game averages alone suggest.
