Israel Folau seeking €1.8m in donations to help legal case against Rugby Australia

Sacked dual-code international Israel Folau has launched a bid to raise €1.84m from the public to fight his legal case against Rugby Australia.

Folau, whose contract with the governing body was terminated in May over homophobic social media posts, has set up a GoFundMe page to raise the three million Australian dollars he says he needs to cover costs in his bid to seek reinstatement.
