Across five Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Sali's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution — averaging over five tackles per game and peaking at nine in a single outing. His carry numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value on introduction is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the attack. The consistency of his tackle counts across limited minutes points to a player who arrives on the field with a clear, disciplined defensive purpose.
