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 publicly backed a swift Wallabies return for his fellow back, but the decision is still very much up in the air. Nawaqanitawase, who made the switch from rugby league, is weighing his options as his international future remains unclear.
