Sydney Roosters fans are gearing up to watch future footy star Mark Nawaqanitawase strut his stuff at the 2024 Paris Olympics before he officially joins the club.
The rugby league world is abuzz with excitement as they anticipate his performances on the biggest stage.
Having already made his mark in the 15-man game with 11 Wallabies Tests and 58 games for the Waratahs in Super Rugby at just 23 years old, Nawaqanitawase has proven his skills as a versatile outside back.
He has even dabbled in Rugby Sevens, showcasing his talent on the international stage.
Now, he is set to represent Australia in the Rugby Sevens at the Olympics, aiming to secure a medal for the first time.
Despite Australia's strong rugby union pedigree and their women's team clinching gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics, the men's team has yet to reach the semi-finals, finishing eighth in Rio and one spot higher in the Covid-delayed Tokyo Olympics.
As Nawaqanitawase prepares to showcase his talents at the Olympics, fans will be eagerly watching to see how he fares before he takes to the field with the Roosters.
With his impressive track record and determination, there's no doubt that he will make a significant impact in both rugby league and rugby union circles.
