Swinton's match data across nine appearances paints a picture of a flanker whose primary value lies in defensive volume, averaging over five tackles per game and reaching 17 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest in frequency but he is capable of impactful bursts, with a best-game haul of 28 metres from seven carries suggesting he picks his moments rather than accumulating cheap touches. One try in the sample adds an attacking dimension to what is fundamentally a work-rate-driven profile.
