Maurice Daly (rugby union)

Maurice John P. Daly (born August 1914, died 3 November 1994, Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia) was an English player of rugby union football, who played internationally for both Ireland and East Africa.

It is believed that Maurice played for Clifton RFC during the 1939–40 season; an Army posting may explain his presence in Bristol at this time.

Though the Rugby Football Union of East Africa (RFUEA) did not exist until 1953, Maurice played for Kenya Colony (the precursor of the Kenya national rugby union team) against the "Oxford and Cambridge Universities" touring team in September 1951 at Mitchell Park (now Jamhuri Park), Nairobi.

All players on the Kenyan team in that match were awarded backdated East Africa caps after the formation of the RFUEA.

Oxford and Cambridge were returning by air from a successful tour of South Africa and they stopped off to play one final match on the continent.
