Robert Day Kennedy (14 August 1925 – 8 May 1979) was a Rhodesian rugby union player.
Born in Bulawayo, Kennedy came to England to study at Camborne School of Mines.[1] He captained the school's rugby XV and also turned out for Camborne RFC, while representing Cornwall in county fixtures. In 1949, Kennedy was capped three times for England as a winger in the Five Nations, scoring a try in their win over Scotland.[2]
Kennedy became a prominent mining consultant in Rhodesia. He died in a Bulawayo hospital in 1979 of wounds received in an ambush by nationalist guerrillas two weeks prior, an attack that took place under the backdrop of the Bush War.[3]
