Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier, high-volume tackler

Williams anchors the Bristol midfield through sheer workload, averaging eight carries and eight tackles per match across a substantial 17-game sample that underlines his consistency rather than occasional impact. His per-game meterage suggests he gains useful ground on most touches, while peak outputs of 148 metres and 18 tackles in a single match point to the capacity to dominate when conditions demand it. The try return is modest, marking him as a player whose value lies in the carry-and-defend engine rather than the attacking finish.
