Across seven Currie Cup appearances off the bench, Nyali contributes more reliably through his tackle work than his ball-carrying, averaging close to six tackles per match and peaking at fourteen in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest but steady, suggesting a role built around defensive solidity rather than running threat. The occasional big carrying game — nine carries for 26 metres — shows he can contribute with ball in hand when given the opportunity.
