Across 48 matches Ratima operates as an active, ball-in-hand nine, averaging over 14 metres per game from a relatively lean carry count that signals purposeful rather than volume-based running. His nine tries across the dataset confirm he consistently converts those opportunities, while a tackle average of 3.4 per match — with single-game peaks of 13 — points to a scrum half who carries genuine defensive responsibility beyond his own gainline work.
