Former Wallabies star Israel Folau said he was “ very disappointed ” after rugby boss Australia Phil Wash, allowed him to play ineligible to play against the British and Irish lions in a tour match later this year.
This is not the first time that Folau and RA have not been Eye to Eye – in 2019, it has been sent sensational by the director organ after having published an explosive Instagram post which said that “hell awaits homosexuals and adultery.
Folau then received apologies – and confidential payment – rugby Australia payment after initially requested up to $ 14 million in damages.
Quick advance until 2025 and Folau has again rugby Australia in its towers.
Folau was informed by News Corp journalist Jamie Pandaram that the boss of Ra Waugh was “ open ” to see the 36-year-old feature film in an Australia-New Zealand XV to face the Lions.
But Waugh quickly was watered to play on the folau game, pointing to the back – which played 73 tests for the Wallabies – transforming its international allegiance to the Tonga.
Now based in Japan, Folau went to Instagram to clarify the disorderly situation of his supporters.
“ I just wanted to approach a few things about a few media articles that floated last week with regard to the game in this game Anzac v lions later this year and how it all happened, ” started its clip.

In 2019, Folau was dismissed by rugby Australia after having published an explosive meme on social networks on Instagram which said that homosexuals and adultery (photo of hell are waiting ”.
“I was contacted last week by Jamie Pandaram, and he was in conversations with Phil Waugh ….. and Phil had told him that he was open to the idea that I was involved in this game if I was interested in this.
“And therefore Jamie set out to a good friend of me – (former Wallaby) Sekope Kepu – and said the same thing and made the link between me and Jamie.
“I did the interview last week and told him that I was really interested in this opportunity because I think anyone would do it in my post.
“Being a professional rugby player, these opportunities do not present themselves too often and I therefore told him that I was very interested. If I was in good shape and selected, it was a game that I would like to be a part.
“But recently, Phil came out and closed this completely for any reason and said that I was not eligible to play this game and there was no discussion around me either.
“So look, I’m very disappointed with these comments, especially after what I have been told Jamie and the conversations he had with Phil.
“It is disappointing from my point of view, otherwise, I would not have put myself, I suppose, in this position. But you know, that’s what it is and I just wanted to remedy it.
Waugh previously said that he was ready to clean the air with a madness after his 2019 dismissal.
