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.

Amazing. The losing team’s ratings are higher than the winning team’s. Mallia definitely didn’t deserve a y. What game were you watching? Should have got a w or an x. ADP hardly featured in that second half. At one point I wondered when he’d been subbed. Seems to me as if he gets an automatic 9 just for getting onto the team sheet.
Go to commentsI’m sorry. That second half was far from enthralling. It was painful to watch.
