Haig's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining contribution, averaging seven per match across his Super Rugby appearances and peaking at 14 in a single game — a volume that points to a lock heavily relied upon in the defensive structure. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, consistently giving his team go-forward but within a controlled, set-piece-support role. The combination of high defensive output and reliable ball-carrying across 14 matches underlines a forward who offers consistent, physical work throughout the full contest.
