Terence Anthony Patrick Moore (29 April 1945 — 17 June 2001) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Cork, Moore was a Munster Senior Cup-winner with Highfield.[1]
Moore, at 6 ft 4 in and 16 stone, was a large but mobile loose forward.[2]
Between 1967 and 1974, Moore was capped 12 times for Ireland as a number eight. He had yet to earn a cap when he made the Ireland squad for the 1967 tour of Australia and debuted in the one-off Test against the Wallabies in Sydney, which they won. It wasn't until 1973 that he got another opportunity, playing in a draw against the All Blacks at Lansdowne Road. He was in the Ireland team which won the 1974 Five Nations.[3]
Moore also represented the Ireland national basketball team.[3]
