England should take heed of the Australia try expert who transitioned from rugby union to league, specifically Mark Nawaqanitawase. His Test debut has generated some buzz due to the momentous occasion of the Rugby League Ashes' revival.
At Wembley, the 25-year-old from Sydney's inner-west made history as the first player to switch from union to league for the Kangaroos since Scott Gourley in 1991. This milestone, however, didn't steal the spotlight from the match itself.
The relatively low profile of Nawaqanitawase during last Saturday's opening Test success in London might actually benefit Australia. While England is already well-acquainted with formidable players like Reece Walsh, Cameron Munster, and Harry Grant, the Kangaroos have kept Nawaqanitawase under the radar, allowing him to take on more of a supportive role in the gameplay.
