Fale's numbers across five U20 Championship matches tell the story of a lock who earns his place through defensive reliability, averaging six tackles per game and topping out at ten in his best outing. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, but he contributes consistently through the phases, with his peak game of six carries for 19 metres showing he can threaten when called upon. He has also crossed for a try, confirming he is not purely a grind-and-grunt forward.
