Joseph Moody (born 18 September 1988) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer who plays as a prop for the Crusaders in Super Rugby and Canterbury in the ITM Cup.[1]

Rugby union career

He was a member of the Crusaders Wider Training Squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season and he has subsequently been promoted to the senior squad for the 2013 season.[2][3] He was included in the All Blacks squad for the 2013 Rugby Championship as cover for injured Crusaders' team-mate Wyatt Crockett.[4] Moody has now been capped for the All Blacks 14 times, and was named in New Zealand's 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup where he played in the knockout stages. Moody eventually supplanted Crockett as the first-choice loosehead prop in 2016 when he was named in the All Blacks again.

Affiliating to Ngāi Tahu, Moody was a member of the Māori All Blacks in 2015.[5]
