Across 26 Super Rugby appearances, Lasaqa's output is defined above all by his defensive work rate — averaging nearly 10 tackles per match and reaching 20 in a single outing, he functions as a high-volume defensive engine in the loose. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, averaging four carries per match, but he consistently converts those touches into forward metres, with a 65-metre single-game peak suggesting genuine threat when given opportunity. The combination of reliable tackling numbers and steady ball-carrying across over 1 400 minutes paints a picture of a flanker who contributes durably on both sides of the ball.
