Across 38 matches Hughes averages a modest carrying load typical of a scrum half focused on service rather than ball-carrying, yet his tackle count tells a more assertive story — consistently active in defence and capable of hitting nine tackles in a single outing. His best individual performances show genuine upside, with 10 carries and 42 metres in a game demonstrating he can take on a more direct role when the moment demands. Three tries across the dataset add a subtle threat around the breakdown.
