Waratahs fullback Max Jorgensen has again committed to the Wallabies ahead of next year’s British and Irish Lions tour and the 2027 Rugby World Cup, but has revealed that he is open to making the switch to the NRL once he has featured on rugby’s two biggest stages.
Jorgensen emphatically denied that he had been offered any contract from the Roosters and is currently focused on returning to the field against the Drua in Fiji on Saturday after recovering from a hip injury that kept him out of last week’s two-point defeat against the Blues.
Jorgensen has played just 14 Super Rugby matches, is yet to debut for the Wallabies and is off contract with the Waratahs and Rugby Australia at the end of this year.
On Thursday Wallabies and Waratahs centre Izaia Perese announced he would be leaving the Waratahs to join Leicester Tigers next season, giving RA even more impetus to secure the immediate future of the young fullback soon.
RA and NSW Rugby have already pitched a three-year deal to Jorgensen and his management to take him through to the 2027 World Cup, although so far, it remains unsigned.
