Across 20 Super Rugby appearances, Waqa has established himself as a consistent ball-carrier and tackler, averaging over five carries and five tackles per match with a solid territorial return through the gain line. His try-scoring record of six in this period suggests he arrives in the right places at the right moments, while peak performances of 11 carries, 88 metres, and nine tackles in a single game indicate he can elevate his output significantly when required. The consistency of his numbers across more than 1 100 minutes of rugby points to a durable, workmanlike presence in the Drua loose trio.
