Australia’s first-up thrashing by a second-string South Africa side in the Rugby Championship on Saturday has triggered alarm bells at home but scrumhalf Nic White has said all the Wallabies’ ills can be fixed within a week.
A fresh fundraising drive for sacked Australia fullback Israel Folau quickly hit the AUS$1 million (US$696,100) mark in donations after it was launched by a Christian lobby yesterday.
Rugby star Israel Folau said his resolve to fight his sacking for homophobic comments had “only been hardened” by criticism as a crowdfunding campaign for his legal fees was shut down yesterday.
With 100 days to go until the start of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, organisers have turned one eye towards the legacy the tournament will leave in Japan and Asia as a whole.
Israel Folau is set to launch legal action against Rugby Australia this week, a report said yesterday, with the sacked Wallabies fullback saying: “All I ask is to be treated fairly and by the law.”
Folau is to have his contract terminated after posting a meme on social media that said gay people would go to “hell”.
