Across 47 matches as a replacement, Taofifenua consistently contributes in tight, physical exchanges — his carry numbers reflect a player used to punch into congested defences in short bursts rather than dominate possession. His tackle count holds up solidly for a forward of his role, and his best individual performances, spiking to 16 carries and 8 tackles in a single game, show he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when called upon. Seven tries across this sample further suggest he is more than a holding presence off the bench.
