Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier with defensive bite

Across 16 matches in four competitions, Smith shows a steady involvement in the carry game, averaging just under four carries per match and contributing meaningful metres with the ball in hand. His tackle numbers are modest on average but his single-game peak of 10 tackles points to the capacity to step up defensively when the contest demands it. The consistency of his minutes across competitions reflects a reliable presence at fly half rather than a peripheral one.
