General Info Edit
The status of a record breaker enhanced Toby Flood’s performance and that of England in the 35-18 win over Australia last November. His unblemished record of landing nine place kicks, comprising seven penalty goals and two conversions, brought 25 points, the highest total by any player in the 40-match history of the fixture.

His first four on-target kicks against Samoa the following week took his sequence of successful attempts to 13.

Toby had already scored 26 points in last summer’s two Tests against the Wallabies, having returned for the 2010 RBS 6 Nations Championship after rupturing his left Achilles tendon in Leicester Tigers’ Heineken Cup semi final against Cardiff Blues. It brought a premature end to Toby’s 2008-09 season and unluckily cost him a place in two finals, including the Guinness Premiership.

After spending five seasons with Newcastle Falcons, he has since completed two and a half campaigns with Leicester and amassed 536 points in his first 43 matches, averaging 12.47 points per game. Toby had rocketed from his Falcons’ senior debut against London Wasps as a 19-year-old in February 2005 to his England debut against Argentina at Twickenham in only 21 months.

He played off the bench for Charlie Hodgson, of Sale Sharks, and won four caps as a replacement before his first start against France in 2007, the first of two successive years in which he made ten Test appearances. During that time span, he notched a try against France in 2007 and scored others against Wales and Italy the following year.

He had been a late replacement for Jamie Noon in the 2007 RWC party and made a sound contribution to England’s advance to the final with caps off the bench for Mike Catt against Australia, France and in the final against South Africa. Versatility is among his assets with his 22 Test starts embracing 14 at fly half and eight at centre.

Earlier in his career, Toby not only progressed from the England Under 18s but also contributed to a second Grand Slam in three seasons for the Under 21s on his way to senior England status.

Before joining the Falcons Academy, he played for Alnwick and Morpeth and obtained a degree in Business Management at Northumbria University.

A product of King's School, Tynemouth, he also represented Northumberland Schools Under 16s and 18s, and England Students, was a county standard athlete and played cricket for Northumberland Under 16s. His father Tim appeared for Alnwick.
