Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
High-volume carrier and defensive workhorse

Across 52 URC appearances McCann has built a profile defined by relentless involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging over ten tackles and nearly nine carries per match. His tackle count — climbing as high as 22 in a single outing — points to a flanker who anchors the defensive line as much as he drives the attack. The consistency of those numbers across more than 3 300 minutes reflects a player who sustains his workload deep into matches rather than producing isolated bursts.
