Across 92 matches Beirne combines a consistent defensive workload — averaging eight tackles per game with a single-match peak of 19 — with genuine attacking threat, having crossed for 17 tries from over 500 carries. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but efficient, suggesting a player used selectively in contact rather than as a primary ball-runner. The combination of scoring, tackling, and nearly 5,500 minutes of court time points to a lock relied upon across the full range of forward duties.
