Duncan James Oke Blaikie (born 2 October 1975) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1] [2]
Born in Hamilton, Blaikie is a son of judge Oke Blaikie and younger brother of Highlanders lock John Blaikie.[3] He attended Otago Boys' High School and studied medicine at the University of Otago, before switching to law at the University of Cambridge, where he had gone to study for a MPhil degree.[4]
Blaikie, an Otago loose forward, had three seasons competing in the Super 12, two with the Highlanders and one with the Chiefs.[5] He captained Cambridge University to victory in the 2002 Varsity match, forming a back row with countrymen Stewart Eru and Owen Scrimgeour.
