Across 38 URC appearances Porch functions as a high-touch right wing, averaging over seven carries per match and accumulating more than 1 400 metres in total — figures that point to genuine involvement in the attacking structure rather than a peripheral role. His tackling numbers are equally telling, with a per-game average above four and a personal best of nine in a single outing, suggesting he is expected to contribute meaningfully in the defensive line. The gap between his typical output and his best individual performances — 95 metres and 12 carries in a single match — indicates the ceiling is there when opportunities open up.
