Hayward's tackle numbers are the most telling part of his game in this dataset — consistently active in defence, with a single-game peak of 12 tackles underlining his willingness to put his body on the line. His carrying work is measured rather than explosive, averaging just under 15 metres per match across seven appearances, suggesting he operates as a safe pair of hands in the backfield rather than a primary attacking threat. The consistency of his contributions across both Rugby World Cup and Six Nations matches points to a dependable rather than spectacular presence.
