Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has stated there is no assurance the code-hopping back will return to the Wallabies, with an international allegiance switch still on the table. Six Nations interest has emerged in recent months, keeping the door open for a shift away 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 taking stock of the situation as his international future stays unresolved.
