Young's tackle numbers across these eleven URC appearances mark him out as one of the primary defensive workhorses in the Dragons loose trio, consistently asked to make double-digit tackles per game. His carrying load is steady rather than explosive, though peak outings of twelve carries and 48 metres in a single match show he can shift up a gear when the game demands it. Two tries from this sample suggest he also has the awareness to arrive at the right moment in attack.
