Across five appearances as a replacement for Fijian Drua, Matawalu contributes almost exclusively through his defensive work, averaging close to three tackles per game in limited minutes. His carrying output is minimal, suggesting his primary value when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. A best single-game return of nine tackles points to genuine impact in that role when called upon.
