Silva contributes consistently across both phases, averaging just under 27 metres per game from five carries, which points to a full back who engages purposefully rather than speculatively. His tackle count is a notable feature of his profile — averaging 3.6 per match with a single-game peak of seven — suggesting he is regularly called into defensive duty and meets it with reliability. Across 320 minutes of World Cup rugby, his workload reflects a player trusted to function in both directions without dominating either.
