Mark Nawaqanitawase becomes dual international as Kangaroos name first Ashes Test team

Former Wallaby rewarded for breakout NRL season with Roosters

Australia debutant Reece Walsh to pose threat to England at Wembley

Australia will unleash the dazzling skills of new dual international Mark Nawaqanitawase on England at Wembley Stadium, alongside equally electrifying fellow Kangaroos debutant Reece Walsh.

The duo join Brisbane centre Gehamat Shibasaki and South Sydney powerhouse Keaon Koloamatangi as the four debutants in the opening Test of rugby league’s Ashes series on Sunday (AEDT).

Winger Nawaqanitawase, who previously played for the Wallabies, had a breakout season for the Sydney Roosters where his 24 tries in 23 games resulted in him being the NRL’s leading try-scorer for the year.
