Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has made clear there is no certainty the code-hopping back will return to the Wallabies, with an international allegiance switch very much in play. Six Nations interest has emerged in recent months, keeping the door open for a move away from Australian rugby union.

Joseph Suaalii has come out in support of 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 remains unclear.
