Moody Will Play at Six Nations Championship:


Lewis Walton Moody (born 12 June 1978 in Ascot) is an English international rugby union rugby player who was part of the 2003 Six Nations Rugby Championship winning side. He is also known as Lewis "Mad Dog" Moody for his keenness to play rugby and his apparent lack of pain and self-conservation, he once suffered 2 concussions in a single match yet continued to play, he also happily dives for the ball as its being kicked from hand and also jumps on any lucky loose ball before getting bundled by other forwards. Fellow England International, Ben Cohen, commented on Moody's lesser known nickname the 'Happy Spacker' in a television interview.

Almost a year after he feared his career was over, Lewis Moody looks set to head into the Six Nations Championship in the form of his life. The England flanker marked his first game as Leicester captain at Welford Road on Sunday with another all-action display, scoring his side's third try in the 32-6 victory over Sale.

Yet it was only back in January that the 31 year-old feared he would never play again after suffering a broken ankle, just two months after battling back from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

"There was a time after the broken ankle when I considered calling it a day,"
he recalled.
