Across 40 matches and over 2500 minutes of action, Gabrillagues presents as a high-volume defensive operator, averaging close to ten tackles per game — a figure that speaks to consistent, unglamorous effort at the core of the forward contest. His carrying numbers are modest but functional, reflecting a lock who prioritises structure over individual gain, though peak performances of 12 carries and 20 tackles in a single match confirm he can lift well above his baseline when required. The breadth of competitions covered — from Top 14 through to Rugby World Cup and Six Nations — underlines the durability and reliability that define his profile.
