Haig's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging seven and a half per match across nineteen Super Rugby appearances, with a single-game peak of fifteen, he is a consistent defensive workhorse at lock. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, but he chips in reliably through the phases and has shown the capacity to take on a much bigger ball-carrying load when the game demands it. The overall picture is of a forward who earns his minutes through relentless defensive contribution.
