Across 56 matches Taukei'aho averages nearly seven carries a game, a volume that speaks to a hooker used as an active ball-runner rather than a set-piece specialist. His 27 tries over that sample confirm he consistently reaches the gainline and converts pressure into points, while close to five tackles per match shows he pulls his weight defensively as well. Peak outings of 18 carries and 16 tackles in a single game underline that his influence can go well beyond the average when the game demands it.
