Quirke is a consistently active scrum half who averages over five carries and 33 metres per match, pointing to a player who regularly takes the ball to the gainline rather than simply distributing. His tackle count is equally telling — averaging more than five per game across Champions Cup and Premiership football, with a single-game peak of 15 — suggesting he shoulders genuine defensive responsibility for a nine. His best outings, where he has topped 12 carries and 95 metres, indicate the capacity to take over a match when conditions demand it.
