Across four United Rugby Championship appearances as a replacement, Shanahan contributes steadily in both phases, averaging just under one tackle per game and chipping in with the ball in hand. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited minutes a bench scrum-half typically receives, though he has shown the ability to combine carries and tackles effectively within a single outing. His footprint in each game is small but consistent, suggesting a focused, low-error role when introduced.
