Young's numbers across eight United Rugby Championship appearances paint a picture of a player valued primarily for his defensive work, averaging close to four tackles per match and reaching 13 in a single outing. His carrying output is modest and consistent, suggesting he is used in a controlled, structure-first role rather than as a primary ball-carrier. The gap between his typical carry numbers and his best game hints at genuine upside when given licence to take the ball to hand.
