- Amid his comeback, Porecki sustained a heel injury last week and missed the series finale, after returning to the Wallabies last month.
- During his tenure, he served as the 88th Wallabies captain, leading three of four pool matches at the 2023 Rugby World Cup before his final test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on July 26.
