Gilbert wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, making nine total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending two passes. The match was his third straight with six or more total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Rickards' success: when he posts at least four total tackles the team is undefeated (and 1-5 when he doesn't).
