Harrison Cotton Banks Rowley (15 June 1924 — 16 December 1956) was a New Zealand rugby union international.[1]
Born in Cromwell, Rowley was educated at Southland Boys' High School.[2]
Rowley, a loose forward, made his solitary Test appearance for the All Blacks in a win over the Wallabies at Eden Park in 1949. He had to spend most of the match on the wing, with the backline reshuffled after fullback Jack Kelly was injured.[2]
A stock buyer by profession, Rowley often relocated during his rugby career and as a result made appearances for four unions, Bush, Wanganui, Thames Valley and North Auckland.[2]
Rowley died in 1956 of injuries received when his car collided with a goods train at a crossing.[3]
