What former and current rugby players had to say following a series of controversial posts made by Wallabies and Waratahs fullback Israel Folau.

So @IzzyFolau’s contract is going to be terminated by @qantaswallabies. A bold move and something that should be commended in rugby’s stance against this kind of behaviour

It’s compulsory for every rugby player that tackles Folau to give him a fondle, cheeky bum squeeze maybe even a kiss. Will get funnier ever time. #manlove

I don’t write this with hate or anger after Israel Folau’s comments.I write with sympathy. To everyone who reads it, don’t be influenced by his words. Be the better person and be YOU. Whoever YOU is..Hell doesn’t await YOU.Happiness awaits YOU.?

How does Israel Folau get away with his Instagram posts…? ? #bell

It has become painfully clear that Israel Folau just doesn’t belong in the game of Rugby Union. His continued spread of religious fanactical bigotry is beyond dangerous to the values of the game, and to the new inclusive society we are working so hard to build…
