Across 39 appearances as a replacement, Sutherland consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging roughly equal carries and tackles per game — a balance that reflects a tighthead asked to do defensive and offensive work in short bursts. His best individual outings show he is capable of significantly lifting that output, recording up to 7 carries and 10 tackles in a single match. The consistency of his numbers across Champions Cup, Six Nations, and World Cup rugby suggests he brings a dependable, repeatable contribution whenever introduced from the bench.
