Across nine Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Makata has built a profile centred on ball-carrying, averaging close to five carries per outing and consistently pushing the gain line. His best individual performances — peaking at 20 carries and 62 metres in a single match — show he can shoulder a significant physical load when called upon. His tackle numbers are modest on average, pointing to an attack-first role within the Griquas forward pack.
