John Kelman Loveday (1 May 1949 – 20 May 2023) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A lock, Loveday represented Manawatu at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1978 tour of Britain and Ireland. He played seven matches on that tour, missing some of the early games because of back trouble.[1] Loveday did not appear in any internationals.[2]
Loveday died in Taupō on 20 May 2023, at the age of 74.[3][4]
