Across 16 matches Swiel shows a consistently measured carrying game, averaging just over two carries per match and rarely overreaching with ball in hand — a profile that points to a playmaker who manages territory rather than seeks contact. His tackle numbers tell a different story, with nearly three tackles per match and a single-game peak of 12 suggesting he is not shy of defensive work when called upon. Together the figures paint a fly half who prioritises structure and defensive contribution over individual attacking volume.
