Across 30 matches McInally has built a profile defined by consistent, high-volume contact work — his tackle counts regularly push into double figures, peaking at 15 in a single outing, marking him as a dependable defensive anchor at hooker. His carrying is purposeful rather than prolific, averaging just over three carries per game but with the capacity to shoulder a significantly heavier load when required, as his 12-carry, 49-metre best demonstrates. The picture across more than 900 minutes of rugby is of a forward who contributes steadily in both phases without dominating either statistical column.
