Controversial cross-code athlete Israel Folau has been linked – albeit tenuously – with a move back to rugby union.
Folau split with Australian Rugby in 2019 after he repeatedly posted what were perceived as homophobic religious memes to social media platforms. He was fired and then took Rugby Australia to court and won a multi-million dollar pay out.
