Across 13 appearances as a replacement, Woodward has built a profile defined primarily by his defensive output, averaging close to four tackles per outing and peaking at nine in a single game. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities that come with his impact role, though he has shown the capacity to contribute with purpose when called upon. The consistency of his defensive work across both Champions Cup and Premiership rugby points to a player trusted to protect the gainline late in matches.
