Across 29 Super Rugby appearances, Brial has established himself as a high-volume tackler, averaging nearly ten tackles per match with a single-game peak of 18 — figures that speak to a flanker relied upon heavily in defence. His carrying numbers tell an equally consistent story, contributing meaningful metres game after game rather than in isolated bursts. The combination of sustained defensive output and steady ball-carrying across close to 1900 minutes suggests a player who operates as a durable, all-round link between the forwards and the broader team structure.
