Across 21 matches Gordon averages 3.5 tackles per game, with a single-game peak of 12, pointing to a scrum half who takes genuine defensive responsibility rather than sheltering behind the forwards. His carrying numbers are modest by volume but consistent, suggesting he picks his moments rather than forcing contact. The balance between those two traits paints a picture of a controlled, work-rate-driven nine.
