Ma'u's record across seven Super Rugby appearances is defined by his defensive output, averaging just under six tackles per match from a replacement role — a rate that points to an impact player trusted to shore up the gainline late in games. His carrying numbers are modest, with three carries per outing and minimal metres gained, suggesting his primary brief when introduced is defensive rather than ball-in-hand. His best individual performances show he can lift significantly above those averages, with nine tackles and seven carries in a single match demonstrating the ceiling of his involvement when given extended minutes.
