Across 22 matches, Ainu'u's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining contribution — nearly four and a half per game, with a single-match peak of 11, pointing to a prop who is consistently called upon to do the hard defensive yards. His carry numbers are modest but purposeful, reflecting the limited but direct ball-carrying role expected of a front rower at this level. The one try on record is a bonus against an overall picture shaped by defensive reliability and durability across close to 900 minutes of top-tier rugby.
