 Wood was called up as an injury replacement for the 1999 Rugby World Cup and also as injury cover for the victorious 2003 Rugby World Cup.However he was never officially added to the 2003 squad after certain players recovered, meaning he was unable to pick up a medal for the 2003 success despite flying out to Australia.Despite his World Cup involvement, he only received two caps, both as a replacement in games against Canada and USA in 2001, scoring a try against Canada in the process.
