Folau fears the worst

-

AS the agonising wait for judgment day on his rugby career approaches, Israel Folau has sent a cryptic message suggesting he knows the end is nigh.

Having already rejected Rugby Australia’s offer of a peace deal to let him resume playing, describing the offer as being tempted by the devil, Folau is further distancing himself from the sport.

While still refusing to remove the divisive social media posts proclaimin­g that “drunks, homosexual­s, adulterers, liars, fornicator­s, thieves, atheists, idolaters” were going to hell, he has tellingly changed his profile picture.

His Twitter and Instagram accounts had both previously featured a shot of him playing for the Waratahs but that has now been replaced by an image of the number one and the words “God first”.
