Culhane is a consistent, high-volume contributor at number 8, averaging double-digit tackles and close to ten carries per match across his eight URC appearances. His workrate at the breakdown and in defence underlines a player who takes on a significant physical share of the game, while his best individual outings — reaching 16 carries and 21 tackles in a single match — show he can step up that output considerably when required. The metres he generates through contact suggest a direct, hard-running style that keeps defences honest.
