Across four Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Tyrell's output is defined by his defensive work — averaging four tackles per match and accumulating 16 in total, with a nine-tackle peak that underlines his ability to make an immediate impact when introduced. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, but a 14-metre best in a single game shows he can contribute with ball in hand when called upon. His profile points to a player used primarily to shore up the defensive line in the closing stages of matches.
