Across 28 appearances as a replacement, Hurd has built a consistent defensive record, averaging nearly three tackles per outing with a single-game peak of nine — figures that point to someone who arrives on the field and engages immediately. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a bench role, though he has shown he can contribute with ball in hand when called upon. The accumulated 670 minutes across top-level competition in the Champions Cup, Premiership, and international rugby underlines his durability and continued presence in high-stakes environments.
