Across 25 matches, Tizard averages just under ten tackles per game — a volume that speaks to a lock who operates at the heart of defensive structures rather than on the periphery. His carrying numbers are equally consistent, contributing both metres and go-forward with regularity, while six tries from a tight forward underlines that he arrives at the breakdown and gainline with genuine intent. His best individual performances — reaching 18 tackles and 44 metres in a single match — show the ceiling is notably higher than his already solid averages suggest.
