Will Greenwood

Will Greenwood is a former England rugby player and the second highest try scorer in English rugby history. He is widely regarded  as one of England’s greatest ever rugby players, as well as one of the sport’s most engaging, intelligent and  entertaining characters. 

Will Greenwood started his working career on London’s City trading floor before debuting for Harlequins in 1994 and then progressing to Leicester in 1996.

He made his England debut in 1997 and went on to become an integral part of the England team, a position he cemented in the Six Nations and World Cup in 2003, finishing the World Cup tournament as joint top try scorer with five.

Throughout his 11 years playing professional rugby, Will was a dedicated professional combining a  fantastic work ethic with a desire to continuously learn and improve his game.
