Controversial Israel Folau is 'definitely interested' in playing for Tonga at next year's Rugby World Cup and has 'no regrets' over the homophobic comments that ended his Wallabies career.
Controversial fullback Israel Folau is “definitely interested” in playing for Tonga at next year’s Rugby World Cup and has “no regrets” over comments that ended his Wallabies career.
“It would be a huge honour if I got the opportunity. We’ll see if that opportunity comes about but I’d love to put the Tongan jersey on and represent Tonga.” He said he has now “moved forward from what’s happened in the past” and was enjoying playing again after joining Japanese club NTT Communications Shining Arcs Tokyo-Bay Urayasu on a two-year deal.
He had previously been embroiled in a similar row and went on to cause further offence in 2019 when he suggested that bushfires and drought ravaging Australia were “God’s judgment” for the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion.
