Deployed exclusively as a replacement across his three United Rugby Championship appearances, McAlpine has averaged just under 14 minutes per outing yet consistently contributes with ball in hand, posting over five metres per match from a modest carry count. His best single-game output of 11 metres from two carries suggests he can make his limited touches count when introduced late. Defensively he chips in without being heavily tested, reflecting the contained but purposeful role of a late-game replacement.
