Across 14 appearances for Munster, Donnelly's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging three tackles per match and reaching as high as 15 in a single game — a figure that points to consistent, high-intensity involvement at the set-piece and breakdown. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the constrained but purposeful role of a loosehead prop within the team's structure rather than any absence of physicality. When he does carry, his yardage is functional and forward-focused, consistent with a player operating in tight, contested spaces.
