Born in Sheffield and eligible for England, Max Jorgensen says wearing the gold of Australia was never in doubt, and he's ready to hurt the English again.
Max Jorgensen could have pulled on an England shirt. The winger was born in Sheffield and qualified for the Red Rose, but he says the decision was never a dilemma. His heart was always set on playing for the Wallabies.
For Jorgensen, it comes down to family. Representing Australia is a tradition in his household, and he has spoken of continuing it as something he always planned to do, not a late choice made when the opportunity arose.
That clarity makes his meetings with England all the more intriguing. A player with roots in English soil now lines up against the country of his birth, and he has made clear where his loyalties lie. The appetite to inflict more pain on England is part of the story.
England will know what he brings: pace, sharp finishing instincts and a hunger to prove that picking Australia was the right call. Whenever the two sides meet again, the Sheffield-born flyer will be one to watch.
