Across 8 appearances as a replacement, Taufa shows a consistent defensive work rate, averaging over two tackles per outing with a single-game high of six. His carrying is compact rather than voluminous, but he gains ground reliably when called upon, suggesting he is used in a controlled, low-risk impact role. The try on his record adds a threat dimension that his modest carry count alone would not suggest.
