Nyasaland national rugby union team

The Nyasaland national rugby union team formerly represented Nyasaland, now Malawi, in the sport of rugby union.[1]

Nyasaland played a series of matches in the 1930s against Rhodesia (present day Zimbabwe) starting in 1934.[1] Many of the competitions were against teams from other British colonies in that part of Africa.[1]

The team was composed completely of white Nyasalanders.[1]

The Malawi National Rugby Team now operates under the governing body of MARU.
