Across 35 matches Latu functions as a genuine ball-carrier for a hooker, averaging over five carries per game and contributing seven tries — numbers that reflect consistent attacking involvement rather than opportunistic scoring. His tackle count holds steady at around four per game, and peak performances of 12 tackles and 14 carries in a single match indicate he can shift his output to meet what the game demands. That combination of reliable carry-and-defend work across Champions Cup, Top 14, and World Cup rugby points to a hooker who operates effectively at the highest levels of competition.
