Folau's career in the balance as Rugby Australia investigate 'unacceptable' Instagram post
By Online Editors
Israel Folau is back courting controversy less than a week after becoming Super Rugby’s all-time top try scorer.
The Australian has garnered an unsavoury reputation for his social media commentary on sexuality and religion.
And he has taken to Instagram to reheat the divisive issue, claiming that gay people will go to hell. He also appeared to criticism legislation in Tasmania that is making gender an optional section on birth certificates.
In a post sent to his 300,000 followers on Instagram, the Australian international wrote:
“Those that are living in Sin will end up in Hell unless you repent. Jesus Christ loves you and is giving you time to turn away from your sin and come to him.
"Rugby Australia is aware of a post made by Israel Folau on his Instagram account," it read.

"The content within the post is unacceptable. It does not represent the values of the sport and is disrespectful to members of the Rugby community. The Rugby Australia Integrity Unit has been engaged on the matter."

Yeah, Perofeta's injury opened the door for Love to debut. Love's injury in NPC ruled him out of the Bledisloe Cup matches, but Robertson saw potential in him, so he kept him around for the EOYT. However, Perofeta's recovery meant he could return, hence Love being played on the Wing.
Robertson's attitude was just pissing me off near the end of the year, with how he'd go around complimenting the new guys as if he'd always seen potential in them, despite only giving them a chance due to injuries.
