Tuivaiti's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over eight per match and peaking at 17 in a single game, he is a reliable defensive presence at the breakdown and in open play. His carry load is modest but purposeful, consistently contributing around five carries per match without overreaching his role. Across five matches in the Six Nations and United Rugby Championship, his output suggests a flanker whose value is built on defensive dependability rather than ball-in-hand ambition.
