Coming off the bench in Currie Cup action, Smith contributes a steady mix of carrying and defensive work that reflects a disciplined impact role. His tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over three per appearance and reaching six in a single game — suggesting he is trusted to shore up defence when introduced. His carrying is functional rather than explosive, with his best game showing he can take the ball forward meaningfully when given the opportunity.
