Across four U20 Championship appearances off the bench, McAughtrie consistently contributes in both directions — his tackle count matches his carry count almost exactly, pointing to a player who transitions quickly between attack and defence. His best outing — 4 carries for 30 metres alongside 4 tackles — shows he is capable of meaningful physical involvement in condensed minutes. For a replacement, that balance of gainline threat and defensive work-rate is a measurable asset.
