Across 24 matches Atkinson averages over 40 metres with ball in hand per game, a carry rate that points to a ten who actively seeks contact rather than sitting deep and distributing. His tackle numbers are equally telling — consistent defensive output for a fly half, with individual matches reaching double figures, suggesting he is regularly involved in the defensive line rather than operating as a last resort. Seven tries over the sample add a genuine threat dimension to what is already a high-workload profile.
