Across 72 matches Osborne has established himself as a consistent ball-carrier, averaging over eight carries per game and accumulating nearly 2,800 metres in total — numbers that point to a centre used regularly in the attacking structure rather than as a peripheral option. His tackle count is equally telling, averaging close to five per match with a single-game peak of 14, suggesting he is asked to contribute meaningfully in defence as well as attack. The combination of those carrying and defensive outputs across more than 5,000 minutes of top-level rugby indicates a player who carries genuine dual-phase workload week in, week out.
