Folau expected to launch legal challenge imminently
By Online Editors
It's the fracas that just won't go away.
The Australian Financial Review is reporting that sacked Wallaby Israel Folau is gearing up to challenge his contract termination in the coming days.
Folau hired law firm Macpherson Kelley to represent him after he was fired for an April 10 Instagram post saying hell awaited homosexuals and other unrepentant sinners.
“We believe Rugby Australia and the Waratahs have acted unfairly and unlawfully in their treatment of Israel,” Macpherson Kelley's principal George Haros said.
Expect to hear news of the challenge in the next few days.

Well said TJ. You can be proud of your AB career and your passion for the country, the AB team and Canes and Wellington has always been unquestioned. Enjoy the new chapter(s).

For those who claim that takes time to develop, the process is to keep the game plan simple at first and add layers as the squad gels and settles in to the new systems. Lack of progress against the rush D, lack of penetration and innovation in the mid-field, basic skill errors and loose forwards coming second in most big games all still evident in game 14 of the season. Hard to see significant measureable progress.
