Across 44 matches, Gros has built a profile defined above all by his defensive output — averaging over five tackles per game and peaking at 22 in a single match, figures that point to a prop heavily involved in open-play defence well beyond his scrummaging duties. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, reflecting the controlled, low-gain work typical of a front-rower focused on securing the gainline rather than breaking it. The combination of high tackle volume and steady minutes accumulated across elite competitions tells the story of a reliable, industrious forward.
