Moray paid tribute to the efforts of his team-mates, Samoan international Justin Va'a, former Canadian skipper Kevin Tkachuk and Michael Collins, an experienced Kiwi prop signed from London Irish last summer, as having helped him develop into a player now pushing for the Argentina tour.
Moray told The Scotsman: "I've learned a lot, from training, from team-mates and the coaches, and from the games I've played in the Magners League and Heineken Cup. The Biarritz game at home, which we won, was the best because we really stood up to their pack and had a great crowd behind us. But just playing has been great.
"I was an apprentice last year and got a first start against Leinster, which was good, but this season I feel I've stepped up and enjoyed the competition in the squad, and playing in every game has made a huge difference to my game.
"I've still got a lot to learn and lot of developing to do but I'm sure when we get back from the tour, whatever one it is, my fitness work will step up another grade. Playing in tour matches, though, is bound to help."
"I set myself high goals at the start of the season – to get into the Scotland squad during the Six Nations and to go to Argentina.
"It would be fantastic to get to the Churchill Cup (with Scotland A], and I'd really look forward to that if that's where I was selected, but like any player you want to play at the very top and so I want to be part of the Argentina Test matches."
