Coming off the bench, Smith averaged nearly 40 metres per game across four Rugby World Cup appearances, suggesting he consistently makes ground when introduced. His four tries relative to his carrying volume points to sharp finishing instincts rather than just bulk usage. His tackle contribution is modest, reinforcing a profile built around offensive impact over defensive workload.
