Across six appearances in Champions Cup and Premiership rugby, West has built a consistent profile as a high-impact replacement, averaging close to six tackles per outing and reaching nine in his best performance. His carrying numbers are modest, which is typical of a forward used in a tight, set-piece and defensive role off the bench rather than as a ball-carrier. The tackle volume relative to his time on the field points to someone who arrives and immediately makes his presence felt in the contact battle.
