Across eight appearances as a replacement, Nel has shown a consistent ability to make his limited minutes count, scoring four tries from a modest carrying load that suggests he is used in targeted, high-leverage situations near the line. His carry numbers are compact but efficient, averaging over six metres per game from a small number of involvements, while his tackle contribution adds a defensive dimension that extends his value beyond pure attack. His best individual outings — six carries, 20 metres, and four tackles in a single game — point to what he is capable of when given an extended run.
