McLaughlin's 15 carries across three URC appearances reflect a replacement role built around gaining hard metres, averaging over 11 metres per match in limited game time. His best outing — 9 carries for 23 metres — shows he can make a meaningful physical impact when called upon. Defensive involvement remains minimal at this stage, with his contribution centred squarely on ball-carrying.
