Toby Arnold (born 11 September 1987) is a New Zealand rugby union player. Arnold currently plays for French club Lyon[1] after signing in 2013.[2][3]

Arnold generally plays in the fullback and wing positions but has also been known to play as a fly-half.

He notably played for the Bay of Plenty Steamers in New Zealand's National Provincial Championship.

He has also played for the All Blacks Sevens team, making his debut in 2009. A year later he was included in the squad to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.[4]

Arnold gave up on his 2012 Olympics dream after a serious knee injury in that year left him rethinking his future.[5]
