Rudi Wulf (born 2 February 1984 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a rugby union footballer who plays for Toulon in the French Top 14.[1][2] He joined Toulon on a two-year contract after being left out of the 2010 All Black Tri Nations squad.[3] He previously played for North Harbour in the Air New Zealand Cup and the Auckland-based Blues in the Super 14 competition. He played for Marist in the North Harbour premier competition.
On 1 June 2008, Rudi became a New Zealand All Black for the first time. However, playing in France means he will no longer be eligible to play for the All Blacks.
Wulf is regarded as a three quarter, in that he can play wing, fullback and outside centre.
Wulf's promising career almost ended before it began when, in June 2005, he suffered a serious injury by diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool and fracturing vertebrae in his neck.[4] He has since made a full recovery. He attended high school at Rosmini College where he played 1st XV rugby alongside fellow former All Black, Anthony Boric.
He is related to French rugby league international Vincent Wulf.[5]
Wulf will return to Toulon for the 2012/2013 Season on a two-year contract.[6] In May 2013 he started as Toulon won the 2013 Heineken Cup Final by 16–15 against Clermont Auvergne.[7]
