Across 17 matches Scott-Young averages over ten tackles per game, a rate that underlines a defensive workload more associated with a specialist ball-hunter than a peripheral forward. He contributes consistently with ball in hand too, and his single-game peaks — 31 tackles and 18 carries — show he can absorb an unusually heavy share of the contact work when required. The cumulative picture is of a flanker who earns his minutes through reliability at the breakdown and in the defensive line rather than through attacking flamboyance.
