Edward William Hasell (26 April 1889 — 7 April 1966) was a New Zealand rugby union international.
Born in Christchurch, Hasell was a Merivale and Canterbury player, capped twice by the All Blacks against the touring 1913 Australians. He played as a forward but was a noted goal-kicker, specialising in the now obsolete goal from mark.[1]
Hasell served with the NZ Field Artillery in World War I and toured with the New Zealand Army team.[2]
In 1920, Hasell toured New South Wales with the All Blacks and featured in five matches. Two of his appearances, against the Waratahs, were uncapped, but are considered Test matches by Australia.[1]
Hasell was a member of the Canterbury side which were the only provincial side to beat the visiting Springboks in 1921.[3]
