Richard "Dick" Haggie (8 October 1933 – 15 July 2005) was a New Zealand rugby league player who represented his country.[1]

Playing career

Haggie played at wing and fullback and represented Auckland.

In 1953 the touring American All Stars arrived in New Zealand. Short on players after a long tour of Australia, Haggie was one of the replacements called in to join the squad.[2]

Haggie played for the New Zealand Māori in 1955, being part of the side that defeated the touring French squad 28-20.[3] He was also part of the Auckland side that defeated France 17-15.[4]

Haggie was then selected for the New Zealand Kiwis 1955–56 tour of Great Britain and France. He played in one test against Great Britain and all three tests against France.[1]

In 1958, Haggie was part of the Otahuhu Leopards side that played in the first ever Auckland Rugby League grand final, losing 7-16 to Ponsonby.[5]
