Across 26 matches McCann sustains an exceptional tackling load — averaging double figures per game with a single-match peak of 26 — marking him as a player whose defensive output is a consistent, reliable feature of his team's structure. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of accumulation rather than explosion, contributing steadily through contact over nearly 1 900 minutes of top-level rugby across three competitions. Six tries from a forward who works this hard in the collisions adds a genuine finishing dimension to an already industrious all-round game.
