Lewis Walton Moody MBE (born 12 June 1978 in Ascot) is a retired English rugby union player who played most recently for Bath Rugby and was part of the 2003 World Cup winning side. Moody is known for the enthusiasm with which he plays the game, his willingness to chase down opponents and his ability to compete for possession at restarts, earning him the nickname "Mad Dog" from teammates and supporters.
However, he has been criticised for a tendency to give away reckless penalties at the breakdown, which has been attributed by his supporters to his being played out of position at openside rather than blindside flanker.
However, historically, the blindside flanker should be of a larger physique than the openside, and invariably the other flanker on the field is larger than Moody.
