Across 71 appearances Umaga shows a carry-heavy profile that is unusually demanding for a ten, averaging over five runs a game and consistently eating up ground through the channel. His tackle numbers tell a similar story — five per match across more than four thousand minutes of action suggests he is asked to put his body on the line as much as he is to direct play. Peaks of 16 carries, 132 metres, and 14 tackles in a single match underline that his best performances are defined by workrate as much as by craft.
