Gray's numbers tell the story of a lock deployed primarily for his work at the breakdown and in defence, averaging close to three tackles per match across his recorded appearances for Scotland. His carrying figures are modest by design — typically used in short, targeted bursts rather than as a ball-carrying weapon — yet his single-game peaks of nine carries and eleven tackles show he can step up his involvement when the game demands it. The bulk of his contribution is built on consistency at the contact area rather than statistical volume.
