From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tony Dale Woodcock (born 27 January 1981 in Helensville, New Zealand) is a rugby union player who plays for North Harbour in the Air New Zealand Cup and for the Blues in the Super 14. He plays for North Harbour Marist in the North Harbour premier competition. He has played for the All Blacks since 2002 and has played 27 tests. His position is loosehead prop.

Woodcock has a reputation for playing as much rugby as he possibly can. In 2005 he played in the first eleven of the twelve All Black test matches that year. From 2001-2004, he played in every match for North Harbour, except for the first two matches of 2004 due to being on All Black duty, and in 2002 and 2003, he played the full eighty minutes of every game for North Harbour. In 2006, he requested and received permission from the All Black coaching staff to return a week early from his enforced rest due to All Black duty, to play in North Harbour's Ranfurly Shield challenge against Canterbury, a match that North Harbour won 21-17, making them the Ranfurly Shield holders for the first time.
