Rugby career

Domestic

Porecki made one brief appearance off the bench for Waratahs against Cheetahs during the 2015 Super Rugby season.[1] He joined Saracens as cover during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.[2] Porecki was eligible to represent England as his mother is from that country. He is also of polish descent.[3] In 2016 he left Saracens to join London Irish and in his first season at the club was part of the side that defeated Yorkshire Carnegie in the RFU Championship play-off final to win promotion back to the Premiership.[4][5]

In July 2020 it was confirmed that Porecki would return to the Waratahs for their Super Rugby campaign.[6][7]
