Across 13 Super Rugby appearances, Pakeho has established himself as a high-volume defender, averaging eight tackles per match and topping out at 14 in a single game — figures that point to a centre heavily involved in his team's defensive structure. His carrying is consistent rather than explosive, contributing just over 20 metres per outing, though a best of 58 metres in one match shows he can make genuine ground when given the ball. Two tries from 68 carries suggest his primary value lies in the hard yards and the defensive line rather than as an attacking focal point.
