Across 22 matches Nel contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging over six tackles and five carries per game — numbers that point to a high-workload flanker comfortable in the thick of proceedings. His peak outputs of 18 tackles and 17 carries in a single game demonstrate that he can shoulder an even heavier burden when the situation demands it. His carry volume is steady rather than explosive, suggesting a player who adds value through reliability and repeat-effort work rather than line-breaking threat.
