Williams is primarily a defensive presence at flanker, averaging over four tackles per match across his three appearances in the U20 Championship. When he does carry, he makes the most of limited ball-in-hand opportunities — his best outing saw him cover 19 metres from just three carries, suggesting decisive, hard-running lines rather than high-volume possession work. His role reads as one built around defensive reliability and targeted impact rather than expansive carrying.
