Across 35 URC appearances, Turnbull's output tells the story of a player built around work-rate and physicality, averaging nearly ten tackles per match and accumulating over 340 in total — a volume that marks him as one of the more reliable defensive presences at flanker. His carry numbers are steady rather than explosive, reflecting a role focused on keeping the game moving rather than generating metres, though his single-game peaks of 17 carries and 22 tackles show he can step up his involvement significantly when required. Consistent minutes across the dataset underline his durability and his value as a high-volume contributor in the tight exchanges.
