Across 27 URC appearances, Culhane has established himself as a high-volume contributor at the base of the scrum, consistently carrying and tackling at rates that point to a central role in his team's forward exchanges. His tackle numbers are particularly striking — averaging close to ten per match and peaking at 25 in a single game — suggesting he is regularly called upon to do significant defensive heavy lifting. His carrying game is reliable rather than explosive, accumulating metres in steady bursts that reflect a player built for sustained involvement throughout a match.
