Will Greenwood is a former English rugby union player, widely recognized for his outstanding career with the England national team and his club, Harlequins. Born on December 18, 1972, in London, Greenwood was a versatile centre, known for his strength, vision, and intelligence on the field. He made his debut for England in 1997 and quickly became a key figure in the team's success.
Greenwood played an instrumental role in England's historic victory at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, where his contributions in both attack and defence were crucial to the team’s triumph. Over the course of his international career, Greenwood earned 55 caps, scoring 14 tries and cementing his place as one of England’s top centres of his era.
In addition to his international success, Greenwood had a highly successful club career with Harlequins, playing over 100 matches for the club. He retired from professional rugby in 2006 and transitioned into a career as a rugby commentator and analyst.
