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 come out in support of a swift Wallabies return for his fellow back, but the decision is anything but certain. Nawaqanitawase, who moved codes, is considering his next move as his international future stays unresolved.
