Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless defensive anchor at the breakdown

Across 48 matches Woodman has built a profile defined by defensive volume, averaging over seven tackles per game with a single-match peak of 18, marking him as a consistent and reliable presence in the contact area. His carrying numbers are modest in scale but purposeful, suggesting a role centred on hard yards and continuity rather than line-breaking ambition. The accumulated workload across Challenge Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby points to a player who contributes most visibly through durability and defensive industry.
