Jake Gordon Re-signs with Wallabies Through 2027 World Cup

Jake Gordon, the NSW Waratahs captain and Wallabies scrumhalf, has committed to Australian rugby through the 2027 Rugby World Cup, turning down offers from overseas clubs.

He expressed confidence in the direction of both the Waratahs and the Wallabies under coach Joe Schmidt, aiming to continue his development and contribute to team success. Gordon, who started all nine Tests last season, will remain a central figure for both club and country, competing for the Wallabies' starting scrumhalf spot.
