NSW Waratahs superstar Max Jorgensen has indicated his preference to stay at fullback as he looks to translate his wing success against the ACT Brumbies on Friday.
Jorgensen has been largely used as a winger at Test level before moving to the back after Tom Wright's injury.

It's been a similar situation in 2026 with the Waratahs, scoring doubles in his first three games of the year on the wing, with coach Dan McKellar making the shift in Round 11 to further his involvement.
"I think [fullback's] a natural position. Wherever the team needs me to play, I'll play. At the end of the day, as long as I'm in the team and doing what I can to help get the win, it doesn't really matter," he said.
"I've played it my whole life, in juniors and through school, so to get the opportunity there again is pretty cool. It just gives me that bit to roam around the field and do what I can to help the boys."
Jorgensen has made his name with his electric footwork and acceleration, but was keen to showcase his all-around skills at the back.
"I think at fullback it's a bit more setting people up as well, which I find really cool. It's also beating players one-on-one, so when I'm in that space, that's what I try to do to set up the people outside and inside me, which is special," he believes.
Jorgensen will go head-to-head with Wallabies teammate and ACT Brumbies fullback Wright on Friday, with the pair reuniting on Thursday before the game.
The pair reconnected alongside budding Rugby players from their old school, St Joseph's College, Hunter's Hill, ahead of Super Rugby Pacific's 'Kids Round.'
"It's good to see him back from that ACL injury and playing footy again," Jorgensen said. "Personally, it's always a good match-up against Wrighty, both in the No. 15 jersey tomorrow night.
"I've always looked up to him as a kid, going to the same school and always looked up to him and thought he was an amazing player.
"He's taught me so much, so to go up against him and see how we go will be really exciting."
