Alfred Clarence Waterman (31 December 1903 — 22 October 1997) was a New Zealand international rugby union player active in the 1920s.[1]
A diminutive wing three-quarter, Waterman was an Auckland Grammar School 1st XV player in 1920.[2]
Waterman was based during his career in Whangārei, having moved there to take up work as a post office technician. His union, North Auckland, had a sparse fixture list and Waterman didn't play representative rugby until 1928. A strong performance against Auckland earned Waterman an All Blacks trial and he won a place on the 1929 tour of Australia.[3] He scored four tries in an early tour match against Newcastle, aiding his selection for the opening Test in Sydney.[2]
