Faifua's record across eight Super Rugby appearances as a replacement is defined above all by his tackling output, averaging four and a half tackles per game with a single-match peak of eleven — numbers that point to an immediate defensive impact whenever he enters the field. His carrying load is modest, seldom exceeding two runs a game, which reflects the functional, set-piece and defensive duties typically asked of a front-row replacement in this competition.
