Woodcock’s All Black career ended by World Cup injury

By: NewsMobile Desk

Date:

All Blacks 2011 World Cup try-scoring hero Tony Woodcock will play no more Test rugby after a serious injury ruled him out of this World Cup, coach Steve Hansen said Saturday.

“He has played his last Test,” Hansen said, announcing the news on Twitter. “It’s obviously gutting and disappointing for Woody.”

Woodcock, 34, scored the All Blacks’ only try in their 8-7 win over France in the 2011 World Cup final and had 118 caps.

“New Zealanders should be very proud of him.”

Woodcock was injured in the 47-9 win over Tonga at Newcastle on Friday. Joe Moody has been called into the squad.
