Millar was a graduate of Queen's University Belfast.[1]
An Ulster wing three-quarter, Millar was capped five times for Ireland, beginning with three matches in their championship-winning 1951 Five Nations campaign. Lacking an accurate place kicker, Millar was one of four to be utilised in the drawn final fixture against Wales, missing a last-minute miss shot which would have secured a triple crown. He made a further two appearances during the 1952 Five Nations.[2][3]
