Across 96 matches McGrath shows the consistent, metronomic output you expect of a high-functioning scrum half — modest carry volumes per game that nonetheless accumulate to a substantial body of work over time, complemented by 16 tries that confirm he knows when to exploit the line himself. His tackle numbers are where he genuinely stands out: nearly four per match across a four-season-plus dataset, with a single-game peak of 12, suggesting a player who shoulders real defensive responsibility rather than sheltering behind the forwards. The carry and meterage figures point to a controlled, efficient runner who picks his moments rather than forcing the game.
