Across 57 matches McKenzie averages over six carries and nearly 32 metres per game, numbers that point to a fly half who consistently looks to move the ball forward rather than simply distribute. His 20 tries across the dataset underline a genuine attacking return for the position, while single-game peaks of 17 carries and 161 metres show he can shift into a higher gear when the opportunity presents itself. His tackle count sits modest at three per match, consistent with a playmaker used predominantly as an offensive weapon rather than a defensive cornerstone.
