Nel is a reliable contributor with ball in hand, averaging over 30 metres per match across his five Currie Cup appearances — a return that points to genuine involvement in the Pumas' attacking structure rather than a peripheral role. His carrying load is steady game to game, and his best performance — 9 carries for 63 metres — shows he can step up as a primary runner when the opportunity arises. Defensive input is modest, which is consistent with a full back operating largely in an attacking capacity.
