Coming off the bench across five World Cup matches, Nakajima consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in defence, averaging over four and a half tackles per appearance alongside steady carries that gain ground. His best outings show he can push those numbers notably higher, suggesting he raises his output when given greater opportunity. The data points to a replacement who earns his minutes through reliable two-way work rather than explosive individual moments.
