Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless ball-carrier and defensive anchor

Across 32 matches McCann combines consistent carrying with an exceptional tackle output, averaging over ten tackles per game and peaking at 26 in a single outing — figures that point to a flanker who is central to his team's defensive structure week in, week out. His ten tries from 226 carries show he is not merely a workhorse but a genuine threat when opportunities arise, making him a high-impact presence on both sides of the ball.
