Tupou's numbers across 10 Super Rugby appearances paint a picture of a consistent impact forward who earns his minutes through defensive graft, averaging close to six tackles per game from a replacement role. His carrying is steady rather than explosive on average, though single-game peaks of nine carries for 32 metres suggest he can shift the dial when given opportunity. The tackle counts are where he stands out most, with a best of 16 in a single match indicating he can shoulder a significant defensive workload off the bench.
