Across 23 appearances as a replacement, Davids has built a clear identity as a defensive contributor, averaging over three tackles per outing and accumulating 77 in total across more than 700 minutes of rugby. His carrying numbers are modest by design — rarely exceeding two per game on average — which reflects the controlled, low-risk role typically asked of a finisher. When called upon more actively, his ceiling shows: eight tackles and five carries in a single match indicate he can step up when the game demands it.
Born on 4 February 1998, Eddie is 28 years old, stands 175cm (5′9″) tall and weighs 101kg.
