Mark Nawaqanitawase's agent has confirmed there is no guarantee 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 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 anything but certain. Nawaqanitawase, who crossed from the Sydney Roosters to rugby union, is considering his next move as his international future remains unclear.
