Across three U20 Championship appearances as a replacement, Hewitt has contributed more through his defensive work than with ball in hand, averaging two tackles per outing from limited minutes. His best performance saw him register five tackles and cover ten metres with the ball, suggesting he can make a concentrated impression when called upon. His carry numbers are modest, reflecting the constrained opportunities that come with a replacement role rather than any absence of physicality.
