Across 21 appearances in three competitions, Nel demonstrates the consistent workload of a specialist carrying and defensive flanker, averaging over six tackles and five carries per match. His tackling output stands out as a defining trait, with an 18-tackle single-game peak underlining his capacity to dominate defensively in high-intensity fixtures. His carrying game is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliable front-foot ball with flashes of greater impact when called upon.
