Position: Prop Born: 18/9/1988 Physical:1.88m, 120kg (6'2", 265lb) Test Debut: v Australia at Sydney, 16 August 2014 JOE MOODY has been a solid and steadfast presence in the All Blacks front row in recent seasons. Moody's rugby rise was repeatedly restricted by injury but he has shown the same dogged determination in recovery and rehab that he does when packing down. First selected for the All Blacks in 2013, an injury while helping Canterbury to its sixth consecutive provincial title saw him miss the tour. He finally got his chance in 2014 when called in - ironically - as an injury replacement. In 2015, an injury to veteran Tony Woodcock saw him called onto the plane to the UK for the second-half of RWC 2015 where he took part in all three playoff matches. Moody has represented New Zealand in age-grade rugby league and wrestling, earning New Zealand and Oceania championships He won a wrestling bronze medal at the Junior Commonwealth Games. He made his Maori All Blacks debut in 2015 against Fiji and played against the New Zealand Barbarians at Eden Park. Hide
