Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Defensive Anchor With Reliable Carry

Across 14 United Rugby Championship appearances, Williams has built his game around consistent defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per match and demonstrating the capacity to reach double figures in a single outing. His carrying role is measured rather than dominant, contributing short, reliable gains that suggest a player used primarily to shift momentum at the breakdown rather than beat defenders in open field. The consistency of his minutes and tackle numbers point to a dependable, high-effort presence in the back row.
