West operates as a measured rather than dominant ball-carrier at fly half, averaging a modest volume of carries per game but demonstrating genuine capability when called upon — his single-game peaks of over 100 metres and 11 carries show he can shift into a higher gear. His tackle numbers are similarly understated on average, yet his best defensive outings reveal a willingness to do the hard work in tight situations. Across 27 matches and nearly 1,500 minutes, the data paints a picture of a consistent, low-risk operator who saves his most impactful contributions for the moments that demand them.
