Coming off the bench across six URC appearances, O'Tighearnaigh consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging three tackles per match to underline his work rate at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers are modest on average, but a single-game peak of eight carries for 12 metres shows he can take on a heavier workload when called upon. He has also crossed for a try, adding a threat dimension to what is primarily a hard-grafting replacement role.
