Across four U20 Championship appearances, Howe stands out primarily as a defensive workhorse, averaging over thirteen tackles per match and peaking at seventeen in a single game — a volume that signals consistent front-line responsibility in the Welsh defensive structure. His carrying numbers show a hooker who contributes reliably in the tight, racking up seven carries a match and nearly twenty metres per outing, with his best game reaching ten carries for twenty-five metres. Together, the workrate figures paint a picture of a player who operates at high intensity across both phases, seldom leaving the field without a significant physical footprint.
