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 departure 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 weighing his options as his international future continues to hang in the balance.
