England number 8 Billy Vunipola has taken to Instagram to defend his decision to 'like' Israel Folau's controversial social media post.

Rugby Australia have said they intend to terminate Israel Folau’s multi-million-dollar-four-year contract.

Now Vunipola has come to the defence of the controversial Wallabies and Waratahs full-back.

"So this morning I got 3 phone calls from people telling me to ‘unlike’ the @izzyfolau post," he said

"This is my position on it. I don’t HATE anyone neither do I think I’m perfect. There just comes a point when you insult what I grew up believing in that you just say enough is enough, what he’s saying isn’t that he doesn’t like or love those people.

"He’s saying how we live our lives needs to be closer to how God intended them to be. Man was made for woman to pro create that was the goal no? I’m not perfect I’m at least everything on that list at least at one point in my life. It hurts to know that. But that’s why I believe there’s a God. To guide and protect us and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"
