Mark Nawaqanitawase: Why Australia dual-code international is such a threat

Australia's dual-code international Mark Nawaqanitawase is proving to be a game-changer for the Kangaroos. The 25-year-old winger made his Test debut in London, becoming the first union-to-league switcher to feature for Australia since Scott Gourley in 1991. Nawaqanitawase's historic occasion was overshadowed by the revival of the Rugby League Ashes, which has brought England to the table.

Despite not being the main attraction, Nawaqanitawase made a significant impact on the game, showcasing his athleticism and strength. He is a force to be reckoned with in the modern game, possessing the ability to haul himself high to collect pinpoint kicks and launch himself into scoring position. His speed and agility make him a nightmare for opponents, as demonstrated by his burst of pace from a Reece Walsh cut-out ball in England's first Test loss.

Nawaqanitawase's contributions extend beyond just try-scoring. He has been a key player in terms of hard yards, with 216 metres covered during the game. His ability to break tackles and create opportunities for his teammates is a valuable asset to the Kangaroos. With two Tests still to play, it will be interesting to see if Nawaqanitawase can continue to make an impact and potentially become England's worst nightmare.

The Australian coach Kevin Walters has been praised for his astute decision-making in picking Nawaqanitawase for this series. The benefits of having him involved now outweigh his impending exit, particularly as he is keen to enjoy his stint while it lasts. With these international opportunities a bright spot on the journey, Nawaqanitawase is living his dream and proving himself to be a valuable asset to the Kangaroos.

In conclusion, Mark Nawaqanitawase is a force to be reckoned with in the modern game of rugby league. His athleticism, strength, and ability to make an impact on the game make him a threat to England's chances of success. As he continues to excel in this series, it will be interesting to see if he can become the "Justin Bieber of rugby league" – a player who consistently delivers under pressure and torments opponents with his skills.
