Across nine Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Tuqiri's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work — averaging close to five tackles per match and peaking at 12 in a single game. His carry numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value on the field is as a defensive asset rather than a ball-carrier. The combination of consistent tackle counts and limited minutes points to a specialist impact role focused on protecting the gain line.
