Across three Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Cowley's contributions lean decisively toward defence, with his tackle count comfortably outweighing his involvement with ball in hand. His carrying is minimal — rarely more than a single carry per outing — suggesting his primary value when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than generate attacking momentum. Within his limited minutes, his tackle numbers are consistent, pointing to a reliable defensive presence in a bench role.
