Across 35 matches, Lord fulfils a high-volume, dual-phase role — consistently logging carries and tackles at a rate that underlines his importance to Chiefs' forward structure. His tackling output is particularly notable, averaging over seven per match with a single-game peak of 20, pointing to a lock who is as committed in defence as he is in the carry. While tries are not his currency, his metronome consistency across competitions suggests a player built for the grind of elite forward exchanges.
