Active in the 1940s, Hobbs was a forward and made his Canterbury debut at age 20, before his career was stalled by wartime army service. He was vice captain of the All Blacks team on the 1947 tour of Australia, where he featured in six uncapped matches, three as captain.[3] Injuries ruled him out of selection for both of the Test matches.[4]
