Walsh's contributions across three U20 Championship appearances are defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging five tackles per game as a replacement — a rate that underlines his immediate impact when introduced. His carrying is minimal and incidental, suggesting his primary value in this competition was as a defensive resource rather than a ball-carrier. A peak of seven tackles in a single outing reflects the consistency of that defensive intent across his minutes off the bench.
