Across five appearances as a replacement, Hogg has contributed more through his defensive work than with ball in hand, averaging four tackles per game and reaching double figures in his standout outing. His carrying is used selectively rather than frequently, suggesting his primary impact when introduced is to shore up the defensive line. The consistency of that tackling output across Champions Cup and World Rugby U20 Championship rugby points to a player who brings reliable defensive intent at international age-grade level.
