Across 21 Super Rugby appearances, Ma'u has built a profile defined first and foremost by his defensive output, averaging over eight tackles per match and peaking at 20 in a single game — figures that point to a prop heavily relied upon to do the hard yards at the contact line. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing around four carries and under five metres per outing, though his best individual performance of 10 carries for 21 metres shows he can step up when called upon. The consistency of his work rate across nearly 950 minutes of rugby underlines a player whose value lies in reliable, high-volume graft across both phases.
