Across six Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Makata consistently contributes with the ball in hand, averaging over four carries per outing and demonstrating he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when called upon — his best single game shows a willingness to drive hard with 20 carries for 30 metres. His tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value in limited minutes is as a carrying threat rather than a defensive anchor. He offers coaches a dependable short-burst option with the capacity to escalate his workload when the game demands it.
