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 still very much up in the air. Nawaqanitawase, who made the switch from rugby league, is taking stock of the situation as his international future remains unclear.
