Across four matches at the World Rugby U20 Championship, Ahmed carries the ball consistently and covers serious ground, averaging over 40 metres per game from fewer than six carries — a sign of genuine impact with ball in hand. What stands out most, however, is his defensive workload: averaging more than seven tackles per game at fly half, with a single-game peak of 14, he carries a physical burden in the defensive line that goes well beyond what most tens are asked to shoulder.
