Across 19 United Rugby Championship appearances, Taylor's output is defined by his defensive commitment, averaging 3.4 tackles per match and peaking at 12 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock used primarily to secure and contest at the breakdown and defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest by design, with 1.5 carries and 1.2 metres per game reflecting a set-piece and defensive specialist role rather than a ball-carrying brief. When called upon to carry, he has shown the capacity to contribute meaningfully, with a best of 5 carries and 8 metres in a single match.
