Across eight Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Baselala has built a reputation as a reliable defensive contributor, averaging close to four tackles per outing with a single-game peak of eleven. His carrying numbers are modest by volume, but when called upon he generates meaningful metres, highlighted by a 44-metre haul in his best performance. The combination points to a player used primarily to shore up defence and provide controlled ball-in-hand moments off the bench.
