Gilbert logs over eight carries and nearly 35 metres per match across his 13 URC appearances, underlining a full back who is heavily involved in open play rather than sitting on the periphery. His tackle numbers are steady game to game, and a peak of nine tackles in a single outing shows he can handle significant defensive workload when required. The volume of carries relative to metres gained points to a player who contributes through work rate and consistency rather than explosive line-breaking.
