Victoria Rugby, Sports & Leadership Lunch 2026

On Thursday 8th October we were delighted to bring our Rugby, Sports & Leadership Lunch to Melbourne, welcoming clients, colleagues and friends to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for an afternoon of connection and shared stories from across sport and business.

We were privileged to hear from former AFL player and executive Andrew Ireland and former Captain of the Australian Women’s Cricket team Belinda Clark AO, whose perspectives reflected the values at the heart of these lunches: teamwork, resilience, authenticity and a commitment to continual growth.

While rugby remains central to the series, these events have grown into something much broader – a forum for leaders and change-makers from across Australian sport and business to share ideas and connect as a community.

As our final rugby lunch for 2026, Melbourne was a fitting way to close the series. Thank you to our speakers for sharing their time and insights, and to everyone who joined us across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this year. Your continued support makes these events so special.

We look forward to bringing the rugby, sport and leadership community together again in 2027 to celebrate the Men’s Rugby Union World Cup!
