Across 13 Top 14 appearances, Ainsley's tackle numbers stand out most — averaging close to eight per match and peaking at 17 in a single game, which signals a prop who is heavily involved in the defensive structure. His carry work is steady rather than prolific, contributing short-range metres at a reliable clip that reflects the functional ball-carrying expected of a front-rower. The consistency of his output across more than 670 minutes suggests he holds a genuine role in Lyon's forward pack rather than fringe involvement.
