Across 50 appearances, Nicholas has been a consistent and physical presence in the Scarlets backfield, averaging nearly six carries and over 26 metres per match to demonstrate a willingness to be involved in ball-carrying phases well above what his position typically demands. His tackling numbers are equally telling — a peak of 16 in a single match points to the defensive workload he can absorb when required. Five tries across this sample reflect a measured rather than prolific finishing contribution, with his value sitting more firmly in the unglamorous but essential work that keeps a team functioning.
