Disgraced Wallabies star Israel Folau announces his decision not to appeal his sacking by Rugby Australia.
The 73 times capped fullback has been embroiled in a legal battle. This has been with Australian Rugby Union since April.
This comes after a controversial religious post on his Instagram account. This resulted in his sacking.
The offending post read: “Drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolators – Hell awaits you.”
Following a review, Folau said: “I simply do not have confidence in Rugby Australia’s ability to treat me fairly or lawfully throughout this process.”
“I believe I still have a lot of rugby left in me.”
“The potential impact of Ruby Australia’s decision on my reputation and my career is substantial.”
