Veainu is a consistently high-volume ball carrier at full back, averaging over 16 carries and 80 metres per match across his three Rugby World Cup appearances. His output speaks to a player heavily involved in attack rather than occupying a peripheral role, with his best single-game return of 23 carries for 141 metres underlining his capacity to shoulder a significant running workload. His tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value to Tonga is as an offensive weapon rather than a defensive anchor.
