Munster

Daly made his first appearance for Munster A in their 2017–18 British and Irish Cup quarter-final defeat against Leinster A on 30 March 2018,[1][2] and went on the join the Munster academy ahead of the 2018–19 season.[3] He made five appearances for Munster A during the 2018–19 Celtic Cup during his first season in the academy,[4] as well as starting in Munster A's 53–49 defeat against Leinster A in the Cara Cup, hosted in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in April 2019.[5]

Having missed out on selection initially, Daly was called up to the Ireland under-20s squad for the 2018 World Rugby Under 20 Championship as a replacement for injured fellow Munsterman Jack O'Sullivan,[6] and he went on to make his debut for the team in their 24–20 defeat against Georgia on 7 June 2018,[7] before going on to start in the loss to Scotland, in which he scored a try,[8] and the win against Japan, as Ireland finished 9th in the tournament.[9]
