Across 47 matches McDermott consistently gets his hands on the ball and pushes forward, averaging close to 15 metres per game from his carries — a strong return for a scrum half. His defensive numbers tell an equally compelling story, with individual games reaching 10 tackles showing he is prepared to put in the hard yards beyond the ruck. Add seven tries to the mix and you have a nine who contributes meaningfully at both ends of the field.
