Nick 'Woochie' Wood (born 9 January 1983, Swindon) is an English rugby union footballer, currently playing in the Guinness Premiership for Gloucester Rugby. He plays as a prop.

Nick attended Radley College before joining Gloucester Rugby through their academy. The loose-head prop was a regular on the bench during the 2003/04 campaign and made a handful of starts during the World Cup period. His performances for Gloucester Rugby earned him a call-up to the England U21s and he was an ever present during their successful Six Nations, as well as being a regular during the U21s World Championship. After a couple of consistent seasons Nick is a regular in the first team. He made 20 starts and 6 substitute appearances during the 2006/07 season for Gloucester Rugby and he scored 1 try against Harlequins at Kingsholm. On the 30th November 2007 Nick signed a new contract with Gloucester Rugby to keep him at the club until at least 2010.

Nick was called up to the England squad for their tour of South Africa in May 2007. Nick was in line to start the first test in Bloemfontein but he had to pull out through injury thus delaying his England debut.

He was called into the England Saxons side that defeated Ireland A on 1 February 2008. [1] [2]
