Across 15 Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Latu has built a consistent defensive profile, averaging over four tackles per outing and contributing meaningfully in limited minutes. His carrying numbers are modest given his impact-role context, though his single-game peaks — seven carries for 39 metres and nine tackles — show he can stamp his authority when given the opportunity. He is a dependable bench option who earns his minutes through defensive reliability rather than volume.
