Hodgson made 18 consecutive starts at fly half for England between 2004 and 2006.He marked his England début with a record-breaking 44-point haul against Romania in November 2001, the most by any England player in a test match, when England won 134–0.He was selected at centre in the 2003 Six Nations. He played 2 games at centre, only to be demoted to the subs bench for the third match against Italy. It was in this game he picked up a serious injury. He made a return to action during the 2003/04 season, after having been sidelined for eight months with a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee.[5] The injury had denied him selection for the 2003 World Cup and another injury kept him out of the 2004 Six Nations.
