Howard Levien

Howard Joseph Levien (6 September 1934 — 28 December 2008) was a New Zealand rugby union international.

Levien attended Taumarunui High School and played junior rugby for King Country with Colin Meads. He studied dentistry at the University of Otago and broke into the Otago representative side in 1956.

A pacy back, Levien made eight uncapped appearances for the All Blacks during the 1957 tour of Australia, scoring nine tries. This included a hat-trick against Riverina. His career ended four months later when a motor cycle he was riding struck a Dunedin bus, which necessitated the amputation of his left leg below the knee.
