A New Zealand rugby international.
He appeared on six consecutive occasions for the South Island between 1960 and 1965 and gained his All Black jersey on the 1962 tour of Australia. Wilson Whineray and Ian Clarke were the preferred props for the Tests but later in 1962, when several players including Colin Meads, Kel Tremain and Clarke were omitted for the Second Test in New Zealand against the Wallabies in Dunedin, he gained his one and only cap.
He regained his All Black place for the 1963-64 tour of Britain and France. He turned in some solid performances but on this tour Ken Gray emerged as one of the game's greatest props, Whineray was the captain and Clarke, by now an elder statesman in the game, was also in the squad. Le Lievre thus again failed to crack the Test lineup but won the respect of all his team-mates for his consistency. In all he played 25 games for the All Blacks.
After the tour he had another full season for Canterbury but after playing for the province against the 1965 Springboks he retired. Between 1954 and 1965 he had appeared in 107 first class games for Canterbury.
