Off The Bench: Moody to fill void left by Woodcock

David Di Somma and John Day react to Tony Woodcock's hamstring injury in the All Blacks' final pool match against Tonga.

The loosehead prop managed a try in his last ever All Blacks' Test – but that's the only good news for Woodcock after discovering his World Cup campaign would be cut short.

The veteran has played 118 times for his country and has been a shoe-in for over a decade, so his absence leaves a big hole in that All Blacks line-up.

Joe Moody has received the call-up to be Woodcock's replacement, and will certainly be battle-hardened as a result of the consistent game time he's been receiving with Canterbury in the ITM Cup.
