Rudi Wulf (born 2 February 1984 in Samoa) is a rugby union footballer who plays for Toulon in the French Top 14.[1][2] He joined Toulon on a two-year contract after being left out of the 2010 All Black Tri Nations squad.[3] He previously played for North Harbour in the Air New Zealand Cup and the Auckland-based Blues in the Super 14 competition. He played for Marist in the North Harbour premier competition.
On June 1, 2008, Rudi became a New Zealand All Black for the first time. However, playing in France means he will no longer be eligible to play for the All Blacks.
Wulf is regarded as a three quarter, in that he can play wing, fullback and outside centre.
Wulf's promising career almost ended before it began when, in June 2005, he suffered a serious injury by diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool and fracturing vertebrae in his neck.[4] He has since made a full recovery. He attended high school at Rosmini College.
He is related to French rugby league international Vincent Wulf.[5]
