Harry Simon (rugby union)

Harold James Simon (7 March 1911 — 1 October 1979) was a New Zealand rugby union international.

Simon, an Otago native, was educated at Macandrew Road School in Dunedin.

A scrum-half, Simon played 46 provincial games for Otago and was capped three times by the All Blacks. He gained his All Blacks call up as an injury replacement for Joey Sadler, in the side to face the touring 1937 Springboks. His teammate at the Southern club Dave Trevathan was selected as his half-back partner and they played together in all three of the Test matches. He shouldered some of the blame for a 1–2 series loss and never got another international opportunity.

Simon was the son-in-law of All Black Alfred Eckhold, marrying his daughter Hilda in 1938.
