Jonny Gray breaks Pro 14 single game tackle record with 43 - MOTM performance vs Leinster 13/04/19

[@leahthomson821]

He’s very quickly becoming the best defensive tackler in rugby at the moment. To make 40+ successful tackles and not miss one is truly unique. Back to full fitness and ready for the World Cup I’d say 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@colstoun4762]

it was about 2 years ago when he went for almost an entire year both for club and country without a missed tackle. incredible defender.

[@promarker190]

What has Dave Rennie told Jonny is in that ball exactly?

[@SY-it7xs]

Yeah 43 is actually bonkers. Some of them were just laying hands but some of them were good, solid collisions that more than made up.

[@cheeseweasel69]

Great amount of work over a full 80 mins! However, he has always been a great tackler, I would like to see him improve his carrying now, as Scotland really need that big ball carrier. Long may he continue!

[@CalRamsay98]

I think Hunter-Hill looks like the best prospect for ball carrying, but Scotland doesn't produce enough physical specimens unfortunately.

Shows how simple you can make the game when you do your job right

His brother just lumbers around the park at Toulouse, rarely doing anything of value. This vid is insane, good man Jonny.

Will never understand how he wasnt a lion

[@saxbruce]

Amazing performance by Jonny Gray - has Dave Rennie's rocket a week or so ago affected him at all, when he demanded all his players needed to perform? A world-class player for sure. I would like to make in passing a comment about Devin Toner's wee bit cheating at times.

I AM SURPRISED THE STATISTICIANS CAN KEEP UP WITH JOHNNIE , THE MAN IS PROBABLY A STATISTICIANS NIGHTMARE OR NOT MAYBE THE CASE , HE GOES ALL OUT FOR A FORWARD VERY IMPRESSIVE THAT GOODNESS HE PLAYS FOR US , HIS CONTRIBUTIONS COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING OR LOSING IN TODAYS RUGBY WHERE THE TEAMS ARE VERY CLOSELY MATCHED AND TRYING TO BE MORE THOUGHTFUL ON STRATEGY ETC JOHNNIE MAKES THE TEAMS HE PLAYS FOR SOMETHING OF A DELIGHT TO RUGBY COACHES WHO DONT HAVE FUSTRATE OVER WHO TO UTILISE IN THAT POSITION ITS FAIRLY CERTAIN JOHNNIE IS HIS CHOICE OR PICK BUT ALSO HE IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURY AND WHEN TEAMS KNOW WHAT INJURIES HE MAY HAVE THEYLL EXPLOIT THAT ACHILLES HEEL BUT THIS DOESNT HAPPEN OFTEN HE IS TO ONE OF THE MOST BANKABLE FORWARDS TO PLAY FOR SCOTLAND AND LONG MAY IT REIGN SO BUILDING A TEAM THE PREMIERSHIP IN ENGLAND ARE LOOKING AT HIM SO I DONT KNOW HIS FUTURE EITHER WAY HE IS A CALIBRE OF PLAYER MAYBE ALL ON HIS OWN.TYPE ......

Do they not count half-tackles like they do in Gridiron Football?

[@eoinmurphy8430]

What

[@colerobbins124]

@@eoinmurphy8430 In American/Canadian football, when two or more players make a tackle simultaneously, each player gets .5 tackles towards their total tackle count.

[@eoinmurphy8430]

@@colerobbins124 no it just counts as a full one

[@CheerfulSmilingEd]

He might not push you backwards, but you sure as hell aren't getting past him

[@robertvian25]

Some of them are not even tackels.

[@papaclorex3231]

Some of those are pretty soft tackles and others i wouldnt count, tackling grounded men etc

[@CalRamsay98]

Agreed. Official ESPN numbers were 43; I just put everything in. Thanks for watching.

[@papaclorex3231]

@Sum Boi yeah but it's cringy to look at when it's supposed to be top flight rugby

[@CalRamsay98]

@@papaclorex3231 You think it makes the game look feminine. I understand your perspective, but it's not possible to make a dominant hit every time. Especially not 43 times. Purists of the game recognise the abnormal work rate on display here in my opinion.

[@sebclement6253]

High quantity, pretty fair quality. Does not really compare to seminal defensive performances like Dusatoir v All Blacks or Haskell vs Aus. Context is important too, he's a first/second channel defender and that is pretty much all Leinster run down, one off passes, grinding. Simple, effective rugby but nothing special here IMO on both sides. Great achievement though, some flops not too many dominant.

[@nicolocannone5612]

c'mon, most of all are not tackles..

[@hfin1014]

Doesn't matter,he's there making sure the play is shut down even if not a full tackle everytime,for someone his size to keep at the place of the play that much is impressive

[@johnpender2428]

Half of these aren’t even proper tackles 🤦‍♂️, he’s literally just touching them for some of it and you’re considering it a tackle 😂😂 pathetic

[@CalRamsay98]

Valuable insights John. Thanks for watching.

[@johnpender2428]

No problem mate, you just earned a subscriber 🤝

[@weeneeps]

I counted 8 of such. 37 is still a long way off pathetic. Annoying that someone felt the need to exaggerate what was already an impressive stat.
