Across seven Rugby World Cup appearances as a replacement, Lay's output is defined by his defensive work-rate, averaging over five tackles per match and peaking at nine in a single game. His carrying numbers are modest — a handful of carries per outing with limited metres gained — pointing to a role built around defensive solidity rather than ball-carrying impact. He offers consistent, reliable impact off the bench, with his tackle count doing the bulk of the talking.
