Taylor's numbers tell the story of a player built around defensive reliability — averaging over eight tackles per match across Champions Cup and Premiership rugby, with a single-game peak of sixteen tackles that underlines just how central he is to Northampton's defensive structure. His carrying load is modest and efficient, suggesting his role is defined more by what he does without the ball than with it. Over one hundred and thirty minutes of top-level action, the consistency of his defensive output points to a flanker who brings hard, repeatable work at the breakdown and in the tackle.
