Across 29 URC appearances Collins has built a profile defined by consistency on both sides of the ball, averaging seven tackles and nearly seven carries per match over more than 2 000 minutes of action. His carrying numbers suggest a centre who accumulates metres steadily rather than in bursts, while a best single-game return of 14 tackles points to the defensive ceiling he can reach when required. Four tries across the dataset round out the picture of a player who contributes across multiple facets of the midfield role.
