File:Hawke's Bay RU team 1903.pngFile:Canterbury Rugby team 1906.pngFile:South Island rugby team of 1906.pngTyne usually played at Scrum Half but also played at Wing-Forward, a position that, by the 1900s, was only still seen in New Zealand rugby union. Tyne played in Hawke's Bay for the Pirates club as a junior and then for the Napier City club. He made his representative debut for Hawke's Bay against Canterbury on 24 August 1901 at Lancaster Park. In 1903 he went on Hawke's Bay's southern tour and played in matches against Canterbury, Southland, and Otago before being injured and returning home early, missing their final two matches. In 1904 he captained the side at times including against Bush Union on 23 July in a 21-0 win. He ultimately made 20 appearances for Hawke's Bay over 4 years and then moved to Canterbury in 1905 where he joined the Linwood club. In 1906 he transferred to the Albion club for the however he only played in around 6 games after being injured early in the season. He did however return to play for 4 club matches before being selected for Canterbury once more in matches against Taranaki, Auckland, Wellington, and Southland. Tyne was then selected for the South Island side in 1906 and played in their 9-5 loss at Athletic Park in Wellington. In 1907 he moved north to Petone due to his work, joining the Petone Rugby Club after rumours to start the season that he would join Poneke.File:Petone senior rugby team 1907.png

File:New Zealand Rugby League Team of 1907-08 to Tour England.pngTyne was selected to go on the 1907-08 professional rugby tour of Great Britain and Australia, in part because his size meant he could play most positions. He was one of six players from the Petone Rugby Club selected along with Tom Cross, Arthur Kelly, Hercules Wright, and James Barber.[http://www.petonerugby.com/memoirs.php?id=19 Petone Rugby played big part in 'All Golds'] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081021153332/http://www.petonerugby.com/memoirs.php?id=19|date=21 October 2008}} Petone Rugby Club, Accessed 14 August 2009 Tyne played in three test matches while on tour and scored two tries.
After returning to New Zealand, Tyne played in an exhibition match at Athletic Park in Wellington to raise money for Albert Baskerville's widowed mother following Albert's death from pneumonia during their tour. He scored 2 tries in a 55-20 win to his side before a crowd of 8,000.{{cite news
