Across 41 appearances Hughes has built a consistent defensive record, averaging just over two tackles per match with a single-game peak of nine that shows he can shoulder a genuine defensive burden when required. His carry numbers are modest on a per-game basis, as you would expect from a scrum half managing the game, yet a best of 10 carries for 42 metres in a single outing confirms he has the ability to punch through the gainline himself when the opportunity arises. Three tries across the dataset add a further dimension to his threat around the fringes.
