From Old Wesley Minis to the International Stage
Old Wesley RFC is delighted to announce our Business Lunch, taking place on Friday 23 October 2026 in Donnybrook, featuring one of Ireland’s leading rugby stars, Andrew Porter.
Andrew’s connection with Old Wesley makes this event particularly special. Having started his rugby journey as an Old Wesley Mini Rugby player, he has gone on to represent Leinster, Ireland, and the British & Irish Lions, becoming one of the most respected front-row players in world rugby.
The event will feature a cordial chat with Andrew, Alan Lewis, former International Referee (MC), and Lara Byrne, SVP, Direct Merchant Business EMEA, with Fiserv and Clover serving as event sponsors. This will provide guests with a unique opportunity to hear Andrew’s story, from his early days at Old Wesley to performing on rugby’s biggest stages.
