"Benjamin Woods" is a retired former rugby union player who played for Newcastle Falcons and Leicester Tigers as an openside Flanker (rugby union)/flanker.

Woods started his professional career at Newcastle Falcons in 2003 but suffered a badly broken leg at the end of his first season and was sidelined for 18 months. On his return to the game he quickly made his mark on the Falcons first team and earned a call up to play for the England Saxons in the 2006 Churchill Cup.

He was also selected for 2007 Churchill Cup. Woods played in the Saxons side that defeated Ireland A national rugby union team/Ireland A on 1 February 2008 at Welford Road Stadium/Welford Road.

Woods left the Falcons and moved to Leicester Tigers in 2008 along with Toby Flood.

Injury to Lewis Moody allowed Woods to make his mark at Leicester and he played in 23 games for them in his first season, culminating in a try scoring appearance in the 2009 Heineken Cup Final.

Woods started in all three games of the 2009 Churchill Cup.

He captained Tigers for the first time in the vital LV= Cup win at Harlequins in 2011/12.

Last week, I was swinging long. Tonight, I was just trying to stay short and in. I wanted to drive (the grand slam) for a double but it carried out of here.
