Across more than 50 matches at the highest level, Gray's output is defined above all by his defensive consistency — averaging nearly seven tackles per game and reaching 15 in a single outing points to a player who carries a substantial share of the contact workload. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, which is typical of a tight forward operating primarily as a platform builder rather than a ball-carrier. The combination of heavy minutes and sustained tackle counts across Rugby World Cup, Six Nations, and United Rugby Championship rugby underlines his durability and reliability in the set-piece and defensive structures.
