Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has confirmed there is no guarantee the code-hopping back will return to the Wallabies, with an international allegiance switch remaining a live option. Six Nations interest has come to light, keeping the door open for a shift away from Australian rugby union.

Joseph Suaalii has openly supported a swift Wallabies return for his fellow back, but the decision is still very much up in the air. Nawaqanitawase, who crossed from the Sydney Roosters to rugby union, is taking stock of the situation as his international future continues to hang in the balance.
