Folau doubles down by sharing anti-gay Youtube video
By Online Editors
Under fire Wallabies fullback is not backing down on his right to free speech, by sharing a Youtube video by American David Wilkerson that calls for repentance over same-sex marriage.
The video, which expresses hardline religious views across a range of topics, was shared on Folau's personal Twitter account with an accompanying statement telling his followers to "think about it".
"With great love I wanted to share this video in the hope that people watch it and think about it," he said.
"Jesus is coming back soon and he wants us to turn to him through repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38) please don't harden your heart.
The Waratahs outside back met with Rugby Australia last month after originally stating that gay people would go to "HELL" unless they repented on their sins but was left without punishment despite public outcry.
Folau is off-contract at the end of the season and it is understood that Rugby Australia wants to re-sign him.

NZ tried to resist making replacements in the second test against the Boks this year, and fatigued players just ended up making uncharacteristic errors at the end of the match.
