Departing Waratahs scrumhalf Brendan McKibbin has indicated he would accept any opportunity to play Test rugby for Scotland, the land of his birth.
McKibbin, 29, will head to Britain in the next few weeks to join English Premiership club London Irish.
He sat on the bench for one Wallabies Test against Wales in 2012, but didn't get on and remains eligible to play for Scotland, where he left to come to Australia with his parents when he was three years old.
McKibbin said he hadn't been approached by Scottish rugby officials.
"I'm solely focused on the Waratahs and Waratahs rugby so I haven't thought about it," McKibbin said.
Capped almost 70 times by the Waratahs since 2011, McKibbin has spent most of the past two seasons as a back-up to Wallabies scrumhalf Nick Phipps.
"It's always hard from a Saturday evening to a Monday morning when you don't get many minutes," McKibbin said.
"I can't kick stones and think about that too much during the week, because I'll just miss the details and that's not my personality."
McKibbin wasn't getting emotional about his impending departure from the Tahs, saying he didn't have any feelings of "signing off."
