Toby Flood is a fly-half who has an all-round game and a reliable boot. He progressed through the Newcastle Falcons ranks where he spent four years before joining Leicester Tigers in 2008. He had a successful first season with the Tigers, helping them to the Heineken Cup and Aviva Premiership finals (he missed both due to an injury). Flood made his England debut in 2006 against Argentina and appeared in the 2007 World Cup as a substitute in each of England's three knock-out games.
