The Wallaby also holds two degrees in accountancy and economics and has long been preparing for life after rugby.<\/p>\n Kellaway was a star Australian schoolboy and made his debut for the Waratahs at the age of 20 in 2016. He moved to Northampton in England, Green Rockets Tokatsu in Japan and the Melbourne Rebels before returning to Sydney for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n Kellaway\u2019s NSW teammate Jake Gordon is set for at least nine months on the sidelines after rupturing his Achilles tendon in Perth against the Force. Gordon is the incumbent Wallabies halfback, starting all four Tests for Australia in November. Gordon had surgery on Monday.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Australia\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s sevens teams have won titles in Spain, the first time both programs have collected gold at the same tournament since the Sydney sevens in 2018.<\/p>\n The men won their first title since 2022 when they beat South Africa in the final, while earlier the women\u2019s team overcame New Zealand in the semi-final before defeating the USA in the decider.<\/p>\n The men led South Africa 26-14 with 90 seconds left in the final when James Turner was given a red card for a high tackle, but they held on to win.<\/p>\n Related Article Men\u2019s captain Henry Hutchinson described the victory over South Africa as, \u201cOne of the toughest games I\u2019ve played.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSouth Africa have made it to so many finals for a reason, but we had a lot of confidence going into this game that if we stuck to what we were good at, we\u2019d be a hard team to stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like the group is in a really good place. We know we\u2019re not consistently the best in the world, but we\u2019re knocking on the door. There\u2019s been a huge amount of growth from last season to this season.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch every match of Super Rugby Pacific<\/a> live and exclusive on Stan Sport<\/a>. <\/p>\n Save<\/p>\n You have reached your maximum number of saved items.<\/p>\n![\"Andrew](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/172f4702dbd7d358d2479634f782dc50d65768e9.jpeg\")
