Across 65 matches Umaga averages close to five carries and nearly five tackles per game, a combination that speaks to a fly half who contributes meaningfully on both sides of the ball rather than sitting on the periphery. His single-game peaks of 16 carries for 132 metres and 14 tackles show he can absorb a much heavier workload when the match demands it. Add 13 tries over that stretch and the picture is of a ten who backs himself to be involved in the contest, not just to orchestrate it.
