Across four U20 Championship appearances off the bench, Greenfell has shown a consistent ability to contribute on both sides of the ball, posting three tries alongside a tackle count that climbs as high as eight in a single match. His carries tend to be purposeful rather than prolific, averaging under seven metres per game, which points to a role built around short, targeted interventions rather than volume ball-running. The defensive numbers are where he stands out most clearly, with his per-game tackle average reflecting a player who gets through significant defensive work for someone introduced from the replacements bench.
