Across 19 appearances, Smith's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game, averaging close to eight per match and peaking at 14 in a single outing — a workrate that marks him as a reliable defensive presence at hooker. His carrying is measured rather than expansive, contributing short, functional metres that reflect the tight-forward demands of his position. The consistency of his output across both Champions Cup and Premiership rugby points to a player who performs a dependable, high-effort role week on week.
