One of the finest loosehead props in All Blacks history — two World Cup winner.

Anthony Keith Woodcock was born in Helensville, New Zealand in 1981. He won 118 All Blacks caps — the most by a prop in the team's history at his retirement. He won two Rugby World Cups (2011, 2015). His technique — exceptional scrummaging, mobility across the field and durability — made him the model for the loosehead prop position. He played for the Chiefs and later the Blues in Super Rugby.
