Higgins is a consistent workhorse in midfield, averaging over eight carries and nearly seven tackles per match across his five Super Rugby appearances — numbers that point to a player heavily involved on both sides of the ball. His best single-game outputs of 15 carries and 12 tackles suggest he can step up his workload significantly when the game demands it. The balance between his carrying and tackling duties marks him as a defensively reliable centre who also contributes meaningfully to the gainline battle.
