Family and early life

[edit | edit source]

Izack Rodda was born in Lismore in Northern New South Wales,[1] around 40 kilometres north of his home town of Evans Head.[3] He started playing junior rugby union on the Far North Coast for Lismore City Rugby Club. Rodda was selected for NSW Country junior teams,[4] and also played some rugby league in his early years as a lock forward or prop.[5]

The young Rodda switched his focus to playing rugby union at the age of thirteen, initially as a number eight but later at lock as he grew in stature.[5] He attended Ipswich Grammar in Queensland for his final two years of high school and was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby team in 2014.[4]

Rugby career

[edit | edit source]

Rodda joined the Easts Tigers club in Brisbane to play Queensland Premier Rugby,[3] and he represented the Queensland Under-20 team in 2015 and 2016.[6] He signed a train-on contract with the Queensland Reds in 2016,[6] and played in the National Rugby Championship that year for Queensland Country where former All Blacks test lock Brad Thorn coached the forwards squad.[3][6][7]

In 2017, he made his Super Rugby debut for the Reds in the opening round of the season, playing South African team the Sharks in Brisbane,[8] as a substitute for Rob Simmons in the final 18 minutes of a 28–26 win.[9] He played his first match as a starter for the Reds in Brisbane two weeks later against New Zealand side the Crusaders in a narrow 20–22 loss.[8][10]

Rodda was selected for the Wallabies squad by national coach Michael Cheika in the lead up to The Rugby Championship series of 2017.[11][12][13][14] He gained his first Test cap for Australia in the final stages of the second Bledisloe Cup match of 2017, in a close 35–29 loss to New Zealand at Dunedin.[citation needed]

In June 2020, Rodda signed with French Top 14 side LOU on a one-year contract.[15] Rodda had previously left the Reds following a refusal to take a pay cut in May 2020.[16]

He returned to Australia in 2021 to join the Western Force.[2]
