Career
Wood began his career at Wasps, making his debut in 1996 and remained there until 2003. However, in November 2005 he injured his neck in a freak trampolining accident, leading to him having to retire from the game exactly a year later. Wood was called up as injury cover for both the 1999 Rugby World Cup and the victorious 2003 Rugby World Cup.
However he was never officially added to either squad after certain players recovered, meaning he was unable to pick up a medal for the 2003 success despite flying out to Australia.
Despite his World Cup near misses, he only received two caps, both as a replacement in games against Canada and United States of America in 2001, scoring a try against Canada in the process.
