Across four appearances at the U20 Championship, Hughan has contributed primarily as a defensive presence, registering six tackles in total with his best single outing showcasing all six of those tackles in one match. His carrying load is modest — three carries for two metres at his peak — which reflects the limited ball-in-hand opportunities that typically come with replacement minutes. He does his clearest work without the ball, making his tackle count the most telling indicator of his value when introduced from the bench.
