Bryant's numbers tell the story of a replacement built around defensive impact — his tackle averages are the defining feature of his game across Super Rugby and United Rugby Championship appearances. His carrying is functional rather than prolific, with modest metreage suggesting he is used to gain ground in tight phases rather than to break the line. A single-game peak of 22 tackles underlines that when the defensive workload spikes, he consistently meets the moment.
