Across 100 matches Doak has logged an impressive tackle count that averages close to five per game, pointing to a scrum half who takes real defensive responsibility rather than sheltering behind bigger forwards. He also adds consistent go-forward with the ball in hand, and his single-game peaks — nearly a hundred metres gained and 13 carries in one outing — show he can shift into a higher gear when the match demands it. Ten tries over this sample further underline that he is a threat around the fringes, not merely a distributor.
