A friend of NRL star Jack de Belin and Callan Sinclair has told a court he saw a young woman dancing, sharing a "pash" with one of the men and "just having fun" at a nightclub before they allegedly raped her at a nearby unit.
The St George Illawarra Dragons forward and Mr Sinclair stand accused of sexually assaulting the woman, then 19, after the trio met at Wollongong's popular Mr Crown bar during a Christmas pub crawl in December 2018.
