Across 23 appearances as a replacement, O'Connor has built a consistent track record as a defensive contributor, averaging close to three tackles per outing across the Challenge Cup, Champions Cup, and United Rugby Championship. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a bench role, though peaks of five carries and eight tackles in a single match show he can lift his output when called upon. His work-rate across 424 minutes points to a player who earns his minutes through industry rather than volume.
