Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent architect, quietly industrious

Across 65 appearances, Byrne shows a measured but reliable work rate, contributing steadily in both the carry and the defensive line rather than dominating through volume. His tackle numbers are notably high for a fly half, with single-game peaks of 17 tackles and 14 carries suggesting he can shift into a more physical gear when the match demands it. Four tries over this sample reflects a player operating primarily as a facilitator and organiser rather than a strike threat.
