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.
1. James Tedesco
That's right. The current New South Wales Blues captain came onto the International rugby league scene in 2013 at the age of 20, where he joined the Italian squad for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
With captain Anthony Minichiello at fullback, Tedesco played at right centre for three games and came away with a try a in Italy's 32-16 demolition of Wales. In 2017 Tedesco was again selected by the Italian squad and would play another three games, as the Italian side would have a repeat of the 2013 World Cup and not qualify out of their pool.
Tedesco finally got the Kangaroos call up in 2018 to when he was named in Mal Meninga's 19 man squad. Overall James Tedesco has played four games for Australia which is two shy from his six for Italy.
