Walton's numbers tell the story of a high-traffic midfielder — averaging double-digit tackles and eight carries per match across 25 Super Rugby appearances, he consistently absorbs a heavy workload on both sides of the ball. His peak outputs of 17 carries and 20 tackles in a single game underline his capacity to go well beyond his average when the match demands it, while his modest try count suggests his primary value lies in the carrying and defensive grind rather than finishing.
