NSW and Australia face setbacks as Waratahs utility Andrew Kellaway plays what is described as his final game for NSW, marking the end of his current stint with the side. Multiple outlets report that the departure comes as the Wallabies also prepare for the absence of No. 9 Jake Gordon. Gordon suffers a significant injury that is expected to keep him out for at least nine months, according to all provided reports. The injury is presented as a major blow to Australia’s backline depth, particularly given Gordon’s role at scrum-half. While the articles focus on different aspects—Kellaway’s final appearance for NSW and Gordon’s long recovery timeline—they collectively describe the same key developments: Kellaway is exiting NSW following his last match for the team, and Gordon is sidelined for an extended period. The reports do not provide further details on the injury mechanism or the immediate replacement plans, but they align on the length of Gordon’s time out and the conclusion of Kellaway’s NSW involvement.
