Born in Biarritz, Haget was the son of ex–France international Henri Haget and trained with Biarritz Olympique during his youth, before joining the Paris Université Club.[2] He was capped 14 times for France between 1953 and 1958, playing as a fly–half. His international career included France's first ever win over the All Blacks in 1954 and their 1958 tour of South Africa. He also had the distinction of captaining a Paris representative side in a fixture against London.[3]
