Across 80 matches Thomas has been a consistent two-way performer, averaging nearly seven carries and seven tackles per game — figures that point to a centre used heavily in both the gain line and defensive structure. His single-game peaks of 18 carries and 19 tackles show he can shoulder an outsized workload when the match demands it. With over 1 900 metres carried across competitions including the Six Nations and United Rugby Championship, his contribution in the wide channels has been sustained rather than sporadic.
