Across 10 appearances as a replacement, James has contributed meaningfully on the defensive side, averaging 2.5 tackles per match and reaching 8 in a single outing — a figure that speaks to genuine impact when called upon. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value in these matches has been in defence rather than ball-carrying. The consistency of his tackle contributions across both Challenge Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby points to a reliable defensive presence at replacement level.
