Joe Shaw (rugby union)

Joe Shaw born 20 February 1980 in Birmingham, West Midlands, England is a rugby union player and coach.

Shaw was a utility player, his broad range of skills saw him play at fullback, in the centres and on the wing.

Shaw joined the Newcastle Falcons in the Guinness Premiership from Northampton Saints in the summer of 2002.

A memorable moment for many will be the try he scored in the Falcons' victorious 2004 Powergen Cup win over former club Sale at Twickenham.

[1] A recurring ankle injury picked up early in the campaign saw him miss much of the 2004/5 season, restricting him to six starts and five outings from the bench.
