Across 21 United Rugby Championship appearances primarily off the bench, O'Brien consistently contributes in both directions — averaging over six tackles per outing while still making his presence felt with ball in hand. His carrying numbers suggest he is used to provide direct, hard-running impact in short bursts, and his peak outputs of 10 carries for 83 metres and 19 tackles in a single match indicate he is capable of dominating games when given the opportunity. The balance between his carrying and tackling averages points to a player trusted to do the unglamorous work that shapes outcomes up front.
