Across three World Cup appearances, Laidlaw shows a disciplined scrum-half profile built more on tactical control than carrying ambition, averaging just over two carries per match but consistently contributing with the ball in hand. His tackling numbers stand out for the position, averaging close to three per game with a peak of four, underlining a willingness to put his body on the line in defence. The try return and a best of 27 metres in a single outing suggest he can threaten when opportunity arises, but his value clearly lies in steadying the team rather than breaking the line himself.
