Across six United Rugby Championship appearances, Shipp has established himself as a consistent defensive presence at hooker, averaging close to five tackles per match and demonstrating the capacity to reach double figures in a single game. His carrying numbers show steady rather than explosive involvement in the loose, contributing a workmanlike gain every time he takes the ball. The combination of reliable tackle output and steady ball-carrying paints a picture of a hooker who fulfils his core duties dependably across a range of match situations.
