Sheppard's World Cup minutes came exclusively as a replacement, yet he consistently contributed with the ball in hand and at the breakdown across all three appearances. His carry and tackle averages hold steady from game to game, pointing to a player who integrates quickly and performs his role without drop-off. A best single-game return of eight carries and six tackles shows he can lift his output when given extended minutes.
