Rugby Union
Harvey played rugby for Dublin University, Monkstown and Ireland. In October 1899, together with James Myles, he was a member of the Ireland team that went on a tour of Canada. This was their first ever overseas tour. Then between 1900 and 1903, Harvey made 8 full appearances. He made his full international debut on March 17, 1900 in a 3-0 defeat against Wales. He made his final appearance against the same opponents on March 14, 1903 in an 18-0 defeat at Cardiff Arms Park. Among his team mates on the day was debutant James Cecil Parke. Two of Arnold’s brothers, Duncan and Frederick, also played rugby union for Ireland and his son Brian, also a clergyman, played for Leinster.

“We must choose. Be a child of the past with all its crudities and imperfections, its failures and defeats, or a child of the future, the future of symmetry and ultimate success.”
