Across 18 Super Rugby appearances, Nareki combines consistent ball-carrying threat with an unusually high workload for a wing, averaging over six tackles per match alongside nearly 50 metres gained. His peak outputs — topping 150 metres and 13 tackles in a single game — point to a player who contributes well beyond the try-line, regularly getting involved in the defensive grind. Five tries from that body of work suggests efficiency rather than volume finishing, underpinned by a carrying game that accumulates serious yardage over time.
