Across 16 appearances as a replacement, McIntyre has built a notable tackling record, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 17 in a single outing — figures that point to an impact player trusted to shore up defence late in games. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a replacement forward rather than any absence of physicality. The consistency of his defensive output across both Champions Cup and Premiership rugby underlines a specialist role built around reliability at the breakdown and in the contact channel.
