Playing career
Laing, a standoff from Auckland, represented New Zealand between 1919 and 1925 and was the teams captain in 1925. However he never played in a Test match for New Zealand, due to the team usually playing New South Wales and Queensland during this period.
In 1921 he was the only New Zealander selected to represent Australasia during the 1921–22 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. He scored one try and played in ten matches on tour but was not selected for any of the three Test matches.
