The Tamworth product will be a special guest at the Tamworth Tricolours Come and Try Day on Friday.
It follows a successful first Come and Try Day last Friday.
Ryan, who helped the Waratahs to their maiden Super Rugby title in 2014, is keen to add to his achievements in Australian rugby thus far and last year signed a one-year contract extension with the franchise, which will take him through to the end of the 2016 season.
“I wanted to stay in Australia to be a better rugby player,” Ryan said.
“Pushing yourself in one of the toughest competitions in the world is important for my development and I still feel I have a lot more I can improve on and achieve here in Australia in a high performance environment.”
Friday’s session will be held at Viaduct Park from 4.30-5.30pm, and consist of skills and drills followed by a family friendly barbecue.
Coaches, committee members and NSW Rugby staff will again be on hand to answer questions, and players can also find out how to register for the 2016 season, which kicks off at Walcha on May 1.
The carnivals cater for players from U6s right up to U14s.
