Across his three Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Finau consistently contributes more on the defensive side than with ball in hand, averaging three tackles per game. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited and targeted nature of his involvement when introduced from the bench. The six-tackle performance in his standout match suggests he can make a meaningful defensive impact in short bursts.
