Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Williams has built a consistent record as a defensive contributor, averaging nearly three tackles per outing and accumulating 48 in total. His carrying numbers are modest by design — his role off the bench limits his volume — yet his peak of 14 carries and 12 tackles in a single match shows he can absorb a much heavier workload when required. Two tries from this platform further underline his ability to make decisive contributions in the moments that matter.
