Jason Christopher Woodward (born 17 May 1990[1] in Wellington, New Zealand). He moved to Australia in early 2013 and joined the Rebels for the 2013 Super Rugby season. There was speculation, pre-season, he would be full back if Kurtley Beale moved to fly-half.[2]
New Zealand career
Woodward played for the Upper Hutt Premier team,[1] and was a regular in the Upper Hutt Times.
In 2010, Woodward made the New Zealand U20s[3] and represented New Zealand at the IRB Junior World Championship in Argentina, helping the team to win the competition undefeated.
He played his first provincial season with the Wellington Lions in 2011.[4] On debut he scored all of Wellington Lions' 3 tries to beat Taranaki Rugby Football Union 23–5 in the 2011 seasons opening game.[5]
Melbourne Rebels
Woodward joined the Melbourne Rebels following a strong 2012 ITM Cup campaign with the Wellington Lions. However an injury sustained pre-season delayed his debut until Round 6 of the 2013 Super Rugby season. Woodward made his debut in an unfortunate 64–7 belting from the Sharks in Durban;[6] he started at outside centre.[7] Back in Australia for Round 8 in Perth, Woodward started on the right wing against the Western Force. He scored his first and second tries in Super Rugby and helped the Rebels win 30–23.[8][9][10]
