Bell's record across seven Super Rugby appearances is defined by his tackle output, averaging over four per match from a replacement role — a rate that points to a player deployed primarily to shore up the defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, though individual matches show he can handle the ball more frequently when required. The overall picture is of a high-impact bench contributor whose value is measured in defensive work rather than ball-in-hand threats.
