Ekuasi is one of the busier number 8s in the competition, consistently asked to carry the ball and make tackles in high volumes across his 17 Super Rugby appearances. His per-match averages reflect a player who operates near the heart of the contest at both ends of the field, with single-game peaks of 16 carries and 26 tackles pointing to genuine capacity when the workload demands it. The combination of those carry and tackle numbers across more than a thousand minutes of rugby suggests he shoulders a significant physical burden in the Force forward pack.
