Early life

Moody was born in Christchurch. He is affiliated to the Ngāi Tahu Māori tribe and grew up on Tuahiwi Marae.

Rugby union career

He was a member of the Crusaders Wider Training Squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season and he has subsequently been promoted to the senior squad for the 2013 season.[3][4] He was included in the All Blacks squad for the 2013 Rugby Championship as cover for injured Crusaders' teammate Wyatt Crockett.[5] Moody was named in New Zealand's 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup where he played in the knockout stages. Moody eventually supplanted Crockett as the first-choice loosehead prop in 2016 when he was named in the All Blacks again.

Moody was a member of the Māori All Blacks in 2015.[6]

Moody was warned for a dangerous tackle in 2016[7][8] and was yellow-carded twice in the 2016-17 international season[9] including for a spear tackle.[10]

Moody played in the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, playing in five of their six tests during the competition. Moody started in all three of the knockout rounds for New Zealand, including their 7-19 loss to England in the semi-final.
