Culhane is a high-volume Number 8 whose 180 carries across 26 URC matches reflect a consistent appetite for contact and front-foot work. His tackle numbers are equally telling — averaging 10 per match with a single-game peak of 25 — pointing to a player who carries a heavy defensive workload as well as an attacking one. The combination of sustained metres gained and tackle output across over 1 200 minutes of action marks him as a dependable, physically committed presence in the Leinster pack.
