Across four Rugby World Cup appearances, Taefu stands out primarily as a high-volume tackler, averaging just under ten tackles per match and reaching twelve in his best outing — figures that point to a centre heavily involved in defensive structure. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing around five carries and ten metres per game, with a single-game peak of 28 metres suggesting he can make ground when given the opportunity. One try from 320 minutes of rugby rounds out the picture of a player whose value is built on reliability and defensive workrate.
