Across 30 matches Smith averages over five tackles per game for a fly half, pointing to a player who consistently involves himself in the defensive line rather than sheltering behind it. His carrying numbers are modest but steady, and a single-game peak of 50 metres from seven carries suggests he can make meaningful ground when the opportunity presents itself. The volume of minutes accumulated reflects consistent selection and availability throughout a demanding multi-competition schedule.
