A fullback, Webster played most of his representative rugby for Southland and was in the team that defeated the touring Wallabies in 1946. He made the All Blacks squad for the 1947 tour of Australia as an understudy to Bob Scott and appeared in three uncapped matches, scoring a total of 38 points off his boot.[2][3]
