Across 25 matches Dolly has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive workload, averaging 7.8 tackles per game and peaking at 24 in a single outing — figures that point to a player deployed primarily to shore up the defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a replacement role where impact off the bench is channelled into contest and collision rather than ball-in-hand metres. The consistency of that tackle output across Six Nations and Super Rugby competition suggests a reliable pattern rather than isolated performances.
