Across four United Rugby Championship appearances as a replacement, Hire has shown reliable defensive discipline, averaging close to three tackles per outing with a single-game high of five. His carrying contribution is modest in volume but consistent, suggesting a player used to provide controlled forward presence rather than break-the-game moments. The 105 minutes accumulated off the bench point to a role built on dependability when the team needs to protect a result or stabilise possession.
