Tabuai-Fidow previously played for Samoa in 2022 but has since represented the Kangaroos, however he could revert back to the men in blue for the Pacific Championships.

The Kangaroos will head to England for an Ashes series at the end of the season, with Walters set to be named as coach.

Tabuai-Fidow’s form for the Dolphins and Queensland would make him a certain starter for Australia.
