Coming off the bench across Six Nations and United Rugby Championship appearances, Martin consistently contributes in both phases, averaging over five tackles per match and maintaining a steady carrying presence. His peak outputs — 13 carries, 42 metres, and 15 tackles in a single game — show he can take on a significantly expanded role when required. That combination of defensive reliability and ball-carrying consistency makes him a purposeful impact replacement.
