Across 21 appearances as a replacement, McIntyre's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging close to six tackles per match across a combined 735 minutes. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a front-row finisher, yet his peak of 17 tackles in a single game demonstrates he can shoulder a significant defensive burden when called upon. The consistency of that tackling return across both Champions Cup and Premiership rugby points to a reliable, high-effort presence in the tight phases.
