Shaun Lockhart Waide (8 August 1912 — 26 February 1984) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Ballymena, Waide was educated at Sedbergh School and Brasenose College, Oxford.[1]
Waide, a wing three-quarter, was aged 19 when he represented Ulster against the touring 1931–32 Springboks.[2] This was followed by three Ireland caps in the 1932 Home Nations and he contributed a try in each of his appearances. He won his blues with Oxford University RFC in the 1932 Varsity Match and the following year gained another two caps for Ireland.[3] His career was ended by a spleen injury he received playing for Oxford University at Gloucester during the 1933–34 season and for a period his condition was listed as critical.[4]
