Across 81 matches Mapimpi maintains a reliable try-scoring rate while contributing meaningfully with ball in hand, averaging over 43 metres per game from fewer than six carries — a sign of consistent line-breaking efficiency rather than volume dependency. His tackle numbers are modest by wing standards, though peak single-game outputs of 11 tackles and 172 metres demonstrate he can step into a fuller defensive and attacking role when required. The combination of 35 tries and over 5000 minutes of action points to a player who delivers at the highest level with sustained regularity.
