Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier, consistent territorial threat

Carpenter is a high-volume ball carrier whose per-match averages reflect a full back used prominently in open play, consistently eating up ground and stretching defences across both European and domestic competition. His best individual outings push well beyond his already substantial norms, pointing to a player capable of genuine standout performances at the top level. Five tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension to a profile built primarily on metres gained and carrying workload.
