Maurice Finbarr Landers (15 April 1878 – 7 March 1948) was an Irish international rugby union player.
The son of a wine merchant, Landers grew up in Cork and played his rugby for Cork Constitution, where he was initially a forward, before establishing himself as a fullback. He was capped five times for Ireland, making his last appearance against New Zealand at Lansdowne Road in 1905. His time with Cork Constitution included a period as club captain and their three successive Munster Senior Cup wins from 1905 to 1907.[1] [2]
