Across 15 appearances for Munster, Donnelly's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution — averaging close to three tackles per match, with a single-game high of 15, pointing to a player who carries significant defensive responsibility in the front row. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand role typical of a tighthead specialist at this level, with the bulk of his value clearly coming through the unglamorous, high-frequency work that keeps the defensive line intact.
