Playing for two nations isn't something out of the ordinary in rugby league history.
The NRL eligibility rules have often been a point of hot contention in the sport, with players regularly able to switch back and forth from Tier 1 to Tier 2 nations.
While it has allowed the international game to grow, the debate that rages surrounding it is unlikely to die anytime soon.
Still, some of the best players in the modern era have taken the approach of representing more than one nation.
Here are the best of the best.
2. Jason Taumalolo
Mate Ma'a Tonga and New Zealand
Making his Cowboys under-20s debut at the young age of 16 it was fairly clear Jason Taumalolo was always destined for great things.
Despite playing for the Junior Kiwis, Taumalolo made his international debut for Tonga at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup where the Tongan side were unable to make it out of the pool stage. Following the 2013 World Cup the Cowboys forward was selected in the Kiwis squad in 2014 in the Four Nations series.
The electrifying forward would end up playing ten games for New Zealand before defecting back to Tonga for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, which is Tonga's most successful campaign to date.
A moment that will be etched in International Rugby League history will be when Taumalolo led the Sipi Tau against the Kiwis in Hamilton, backed by thousands of deafening Tongan fans. Overall Taumalolo ended up playing thirteen games for Tonga.
