Wallabies hooker David Porecki has called time on his professional career, hanging up the boots with immediate effect. Born and bred in Sydney, the 32-year-old bows out days after being a late scratching from Australia's 22-12 third-Test win over the British and Irish Lions at Accor Stadium.
Porecki traversed an unconventional path in professional rugby, spending five seasons in the UK with Saracens and London Irish after playing just the one Super Rugby match for the NSW Waratahs in 2015. He returned to Australia and the Waratahs ahead of the 2021 season, but his Wallabies debut came a year later in a memorable win against England in Perth.
