3. His long-range kicking skills were honed at school. He used to borrow his coach’s keys to get balls for practice – and sometimes hide them!
4. Wasps first selected Daly when he was still a schoolboy, picking him to face Exeter in the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 2010. He was the club’s then-second youngest representative.
