Just how good the Exeter Chiefs lock is at tackling is really quite remarkable. Whichever way you look at it, Gray’s accuracy and work-rate are, well, monstrous. The big lock is so good, so often, that his contribution doesn’t always get the recognition – publicly, at least – that it merits. Interestingly, his brother Richie ranks seventh.
