Across four World Cup appearances, Vahaamahina consistently prioritises defensive work, averaging six tackles per match and reaching eight in his best display — a return that marks him as a reliable defensive presence at lock. His carrying is measured rather than expansive, contributing just under five carries a game for modest yardage, which points to a forward used selectively in the carry rather than as a primary ball-carrier. The one try on record adds an attacking dimension, but the tackle count remains the most telling indicator of where his value lies.
