Across 46 matches McDermott shows up as an unusually active scrum half with the ball in hand, averaging over three carries a game and accumulating nearly 700 metres — figures that point to a nine who consistently looks to go himself rather than simply shift possession. His tackle count is equally telling, with close to three hits per game and a single-match peak of ten, suggesting he commits hard on the defensive line rather than drifting to the fringes. The seven tries across this dataset add a finishing dimension that rounds out the picture of a scrum half who influences the game in multiple phases.
