Duggan, born in Dublin, was a winger who played for Lansdowne, Leinster and Ireland during his career.[1]
Capped 25 times for Ireland, Duggan debuted against the All Blacks at Lansdowne Road in 1963 and was on Ireland's historic 1967 tour of Australia, where they secured a first ever away win over the Wallabies.[1] His 11 international tries set a then record for an Ireland winger.
