To mark the end of this Rugby World Cup year, and as a lead into the Super Rugby season, we are delighted to again host a select luncheon in the 2nd floor Wallaby dining room, featuring a World Cup Wallaby as guest speaker. The lunch will take place on Monday 12th December.

Michael Foley represented NSW Schoolboys, Australian Schoolboys and NSW under 21s and played 111 games for the Queensland Reds. His Wallaby debut came in the 1995 RWC. He played 50 Internationals, was a member of the 1999 World Cup winning Wallabies and also against the 2001 British Lions.

Michael is one of Australia’s most capped front row forwards and now most experienced coaches. He was Assistant Coach to Bath (2001-06) and Australia (2006-08), and following his time most recently as Assistant Coach at the HSBC Waratahs, he is now Head Coach.

To book, please call the Club on 02 9247 3344. Tickets are limited so please hurry – every Wallaby Lunch has sold out within days throughout 2011 and this will be no exception.
