Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Cahir's output is defined by his tackling volume — averaging 4.5 per match and reaching double figures in his best outings, a return that points to a player deployed primarily to shore up defence. His carrying is functional rather than prominent, with modest averages that reflect the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a finisher role. The consistency of his tackle numbers across Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship football suggests a reliable impact player when the game is in the balance.
