Across six Super Rugby appearances, Tuni's workload tells the story of a prop built around defensive reliability — his tackle count stands out as the most consistent thread in his game, averaging over four per match. His carrying is used sparingly, with short-range contributions that reflect a set-piece and breakdown-oriented role rather than a ball-carrying one. When called upon in open play, he reaches his ceiling at four carries and seven tackles in a single outing, showing he can step up his involvement when the match demands it.
