Across 22 matches McNabney sustains an exceptional dual workload, averaging over 10 carries and 10 tackles per game — a combination that marks him out as a central figure in both attack and defence at the breakdown. His single-game peaks of 23 carries and 21 tackles show he can lift that output considerably when the match demands it. The consistency of those numbers across Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby speaks to a flanker built for high-intensity, high-contact environments.
