Lasaqa's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over eight per match across his Super Rugby appearances, with a peak of 17 in a single game, he consistently operates as one of the primary defensive workhorses in the Highlanders' forward structure. His carrying game complements that defensive output, averaging nearly 20 metres per match from a modest share of touches, suggesting he makes the most of limited opportunities with the ball in hand. The combination of four tries across 12 matches and those consistent tackle tallies points to a flanker who contributes meaningfully at both ends of the pitch.
