MacGinty's tackle numbers stand out for a fly half, averaging over eight per match across a demanding mix of competitions — a rate that points to genuine defensive workload rather than incidental contact. His carrying is efficient rather than expansive, consistently providing an outlet without exposing the position. Peaks of 15 tackles and 14 carries in a single game suggest he can absorb a physically heavy shift when the game demands it.
