Larenas's tackle numbers stand out for a wing, averaging over five per match across his Rugby World Cup appearances and peaking at seven in a single game — suggesting he is heavily involved in defensive duties beyond the gain line. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, though he has shown the ability to make meaningful metres when called upon, with 28 metres in his best outing indicating genuine threat with ball in hand. The combination points to a wing trusted to do considerable defensive work while contributing selectively in attack.
