Across 18 Premiership appearances, McCallum's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining contribution — averaging over five per match and peaking at ten in a single game, he brings consistent defensive presence at prop. His carrying is economical rather than expansive, typically used to keep the game ticking close to the gain line rather than to breach it, though his best outings show he can step up that physicality when needed. Two tries across this sample also suggest he stays connected at the sharp end of attacking phases.
