At this exclusive reception, Business Sydney and NSW Waratahs, held a special event with the men’s NSW Waratahs Head Coach, Dan McKellar, Captain, Jake Gordon and Hooker David Porecki, following round 1 of the Super Rugby Pacific competition.

This was an opportunity for the business community to get behind the NSW Waratahs for the 2025 season and congratulate them for the wonderful work they do in the community to connect and unify the great game of rugby in NSW.

Kerry discussed with Dan, David and Jake the full catalogue of events ahead, including The British and Irish Lions Tour in mid-2025, the Men’s 2027 Rugby World Cup hosted in Australia and Women’s Rugby World Cup to be held later this year in England.
