Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has stated there is no assurance the code-hopping back will return to the Wallabies, with an international allegiance switch very much in play. Six Nations interest has surfaced, keeping the door open for a departure from Australian rugby union.

Joseph Suaalii has publicly backed a swift Wallabies return for his fellow back, but the decision is far from settled. Nawaqanitawase, who moved codes, is considering his next move as his international future continues to hang in the balance.
