Across his three Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Fifita has been used in a compact, high-impact role that leans more on defensive contribution than ball-carrying volume. His tackle numbers are the standout, with a best single-game return of five tackles underlining his effectiveness as a defensive presence in short bursts. His carries are infrequent but direct, suggesting a hard-running option used to gain ground in tight situations rather than to generate attacking width.
