Australian World Cup captain retires from rugby after Lions tour
AUSTRALIAN HOOKER DAVE Porecki has retired from professional rugby with immediate effect. The 32-year-old, who travelled an unconventional path to the international stage, captained his country at the 2023 Rugby World Cup following an injury to Will Skelton. The New South Wales Waratah missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign, but battled back to make his first appearance for Joe Schmidt against Fiji last month. A concussion ruled him out of the first test against the Lions, but he returned for the second game in Melbourne for his 21st and final cap. A cut to his heel saw him miss the series finale. Advertisement Porecki made one cameo appearance for the Waratahs, back in 2015, before embarking on a five-year stint in England, playing with Saracens and London Irish. He became a regular on his return to the Sydney-based team and, at the age of 29, Porecki made his Wallaby debut in a memorable victory over England in July 2022. 'To wear the Wallaby gold and Waratahs blue was a dream of mine as a boy growing up in Manly, and to be able to say I did both is something I'm incredibly proud of,' said Porecki in a statement. 'Rugby has given me so much to be thankful for and has been such a massive part of my life for so long, but it feels like the right time for me to turn the page and start a new chapter. 'There's a lot of people who have supported me in my journey, and to them I'll be forever grateful. I'm especially looking forward to spending more time with my wife, Shani, and kids, Luca, Charlie and Billie. 'I look forward to continuing to support the game away from the field in this next stage of my life.' Head coach Schmidt paid tribute, saying: 'Porky is the ultimate professional and quiet achiever. He doesn't say a lot, preferring to get on with the job and to lead by example, and he's done that really well for the time that I've known him. 'On behalf of everyone within the team, we wish him and his family all the best in this next stage of their lives.'

Kiladangan claim North Tipperary title with win over Borris-Ileigh
Kiladangan are North Tipperary SHC champions for a 10th time after fending off a late Borris-Ileigh fightback at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh. The Puckaun-based club completed a hectic schedule of three games in eight days with a tense 0-20 to 0-19 victory over the County League winners. They showed signs of fatigue for a finish against a fresher Borris side, who scored five of the last seven points and threatened a late leveller. Eddie Ryan had slotted three second-half frees from his own 45, but his final effort dropped short as Kiladangan held on. Remarkably, they have appeared in seven consecutive North finals, collecting the Frank McGrath Cup four times in that streak. They were far sprightlier when reeling off four unanswered points from the throw-in. Paul Flynn, Billy Seymour, Dan O'Meara, and Willie Connors (two frees) struck early braces. Patrick Ryan's frees and two points from the lively James Devaney got Borris back in touch by the break; 0-11 to 0-9 in arrears. Dara O'Dwyer, Seymour, and Conor Byrne soon extended Kiladangan's lead to five, but Borris weren't letting go. A super Devaney score followed by Paddy McCormack and Tommy Ryan points got them back within two. Seán Hayes and Byrne landed insurance scores, although stoppage-time points from Jerry Kelly and Eddie Ryan had it back to the minimum for a finish. Meanwhile, former Cobh Ramblers manager Shane Keegan led JK Brackens to their second Mid Tipp title with a 1-22 to 2-18 triumph over Moycarkey-Borris at Boherlahan. Eddie Brennan's Moycarkey were chasing a first success since 1982, and they vaulted into an early lead through goal-poacher Jack Hayes. They arrived battle-hardened by victories over Loughmore-Castleiney and Thurles Sarsfields, but Brackens didn't fade away. In a mirror image of Tipp's opening goal in the All-Ireland final, Rhys Shelly was caught batting the sliotar down from above the crossbar, and Andrew Ormond nipped in to finish his third goal in five days. The sides were deadlocked, 1-9 apiece, at the change of ends. Within two minutes of the resumption, U20 All-Ireland winner David Costigan rifled to the net for Moycarkey. The accuracy of Kieran Morris opened up a three-point lead, but Brackens were never distanced beyond that mark. They moved ahead with four points in a row from Shane Doyle (who finished with 0-11), Ormond (1-3), and Éanna McBride. A goal-saving Seán Hayes block denied Ciarán O'Shea the clinching score before Morris's 10th free equalised. When Lyndon Fairbrother's white flag was cancelled out by Killian Cantwell, the sides were level for a ninth time. But Ned Delaney, who was a waterboy when Brackens made their breakthrough in 2022, came forward from wing-back for his fourth point of the day to deliver the Johnny Leahy Cup to Templemore. For Kiladangan and Brackens, victory guarantees them a preliminary quarter-final berth, should they fail to progress through the county championship group stage, which begins next weekend. In Saturday's South Tipp SHC final, Carrick Swan defended their title for the first time since 1986 with a 1-17 to 0-15 victory over Killenaule at Clonmel Sportsfield. The reigning champions had to do it with 14 men for the duration after Tipp U20 Stefan Tobin was red-carded for an off-the-ball incident in the opening play. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Swans were never headed. They responded with a steady flow of points before captain Eric O'Halloran fed Aaron Dunne to beat John 'Bubbles' O'Dwyer in the Robins' goal. They led 1-8 to 0-7 at midway, and playing numbers were equalised when Eoin O'Connell received a straight red card within five minutes of the restart. Swans held their lead from there to collect the club's 26th title. Free-taker Callum Lanigan finished with 0-9 and captain O'Halloran tagged on 0-3. Tipp senior panellist Gavin O'Halloran contributed a pair in a man-of-the-match display from centre-back.
