Nel contributes consistently with ball in hand, averaging just over 30 metres per carry sequence across nine Currie Cup appearances — a figure that points to purposeful rather than speculative running lines. His workload at full back is measured and repeatable, with his best outings showing he can push well beyond his averages when given opportunity. Defensive involvement is modest, suggesting his primary value to the Pumas lies in structured ball-carrying rather than a high-volume tackling brief.
