Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has confirmed there is no guarantee the code-hopping back will return to the Wallabies, with an international allegiance switch very much in play. 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 anything but certain. Nawaqanitawase, who crossed from the Sydney Roosters to rugby union, is considering his next move as his international future remains unclear.
