Across 28 matches, Youngs plays a disciplined, low-volume carrying game that prioritises precision over bulk — averaging just over a carry per match but consistently converting possession into metres gained. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis, reflecting a scrum half who manages the defensive line rather than hunting contact. When the game demands more, he has the capacity to step up significantly, as shown in his best individual performances with six carries and five tackles in a single outing.
