Baleiwairiki averages just over 30 metres per match from fewer than five carries, pointing to a centre who makes his touches count rather than relying on volume. His tackle numbers are equally telling — over five per game across 13 matches, with a single-game peak of ten, suggesting he commits hard on both sides of the ball. That consistency across Top 14 and Rugby World Cup rugby underlines a player who holds his shape whether the occasion demands carrying or defending.
