@taylorman,
I think a better response from you would have been to agree with JN SA had to be kicked out, he is certainly not defending that, and no, SA out of world rugby did not bring world rugby to its knees, neither will ANY one group of people threatening to leave world rugby have any effect, plenty of players waiting on the bench, why the rest of your irrelevant politically motivated rant, and why only the selective response, is the rest too sensitive for you?
Israel Folau saga erupts again as Taniela Tupou weighs in
@Uncle Eric, general outrage is not the point of discussion here, at discussion is weather an employer or sponsor can take certain actions, your and my outrage is of note to the employer (sponsor) for sure as we can choose to not use that sponsors product or work for that employer, but if we are the minority, it will have little impact on them, alternative scenario, if the gay marriage yes/no referendum returned an overwhelming No, I’m wondering if we would be having this conversation…In the meantime, IF agreed to certain conditions and is now back flipping on it, the employer has only one choice

@Taylorman, please read the context of his (just nuisance) comment, NOBODY IS ABOVE THE GAME! How difficult is it to see that, what has that got to do with SA politics, he is NOT discussing or justifying SA past politics, you stuck somewhere 30 odd years back friend…move on, Mandela has been freed many many years ago, bury you “Free Mandela” flag, and your post is still irrelevant.

@Aussikiwi
…AMEN, I honestly tried to work out the former fan’s comment, sadly I’m lacking the intellect bit, and no former fan, I’m sure nobody will be stoned or burned or have their eyes gauged out for reading the bible or posting quotes from it, just be sensible and keep in mind before you post, you demand respect, kindly also show some…

@Taylorman, what post are you responding to? What on earth has SA politics got to do with IF’s stand on gay people, your post is so irrelevant it’s laughable, and get the facts straight if you are going to put it out there, what should SA have done in your educated opinion, “thinned” them out? kept them drunk and depressed? It worked here and certainly in the USA….

does the ARU have any right to dictate what an individual thinks, believes or communicates? …short answer @Uncle Eric, YES, remember a guy called Tiger Woods, because of a 100% DOMESTIC issue got the boot from most of his sponsors, money talks, IF is employed by a company (backed by a sponsor) wishing him to respect others, he chose not to…

@ WW, certainly agree on the money grabbing issue
@Aussieinexile, full support, simple and easy to understand, someone posted earlier about correlation between PI numbers and Wallaby performance, correlation does not prove causation, but my golly, does paint an interesting picture

Even hard-core fans did not know it existed @Gloria, RA should get away from the exclusive broadcasters, get the fans interested, $2M on a Saturday evening is a lot better than 200K because of bums on seats, FILL THE STADIUMS, LEARN FROM AFL!!!!!!, stop having cramped up brains, in Vic we don’t even know that union exists!!!!! and I am a damn hardcore union fan, yes, as someone noted earlier, allover (SA, NZ) stadiums are less full, same reason, fans are excluded, you have to have the little fox thingy to see ANY union, not good enough. (The point here is, if you keep the fans interested in general (free to air), on saturday they will fill the stadiums…and vice versa)
The Wrap: Is Rugby Australia about to kill off the NRC, and if so, what happens next?
Mostly @stillmissit players do actually revert to the old karate chop to break a jersey hold, elbow to the face was not the way to do it but probably reflected the Tah’s frustration at not being able to gain the upper hand in a home match in front of home crowd, 10-10 at that stage and the Tah’s struggling up-front. As far as milking the incident, I saw a milking incident or two during the match, this was definitely not one of them, this guy (Du Toit) weighs 130kg, literally an ox of a man, that hit would probably have taken your and my heads off at the shoulders… (Holloway weighs in @ 118kg), :-((
Loss leaves Waratahs coach exasperated
Pete, you confirming my point, if the ‘real’ pool is 500K out of 25M, RA is doing worse than a rubbish job isn’t it? The question here is why is interest in union so low? You will be lucky to see 10K at AAMI (Rebels) while across the rail the stadium is at capacity…
Red carding Waratah Jed Holloway was rubbish rugby
Laughable if you consider the average AFL attendance this season is almost 40K with 93K peak in round 6, RA should take a leaf here…fyi, as a rugby fan I consider this sport on par with lawn bowls and croquet, but it’s admin and development is done with foresight, not hindsight. If NZ can field 5 strong teams from a 5M pool, why cant AU field 1 decent team from a 25M pool…?
Red carding Waratah Jed Holloway was rubbish rugby
First bit all good Realist, but second rate fly half??, he’s better than second rate I thought.
Red carding Waratah Jed Holloway was rubbish rugby
I think you have it absolutely spot on John…I saw it the same, and the blow to the head was meant to land where it did, back turned or not.

Dp, just because we still cannot explain 100% how all originated does’nt mean we all have to jump to the next best explanation….its fine for those who do but respect those who dont, something Folau should have done…re your post though, i’m trying to understand why this great creater would have chosen the smallest little planet and stuffed it with misery, why not put us on one of his bigger planets or give us the ability to get there, why keep it all to himself….because he lovez us?
Izzy, you're a complete...
Spruce, 1M likes for that comment, like all christians, he picks and chooses what he likes and what not…..he likes the tats and love the lollie($$$)

@Jamie
You are absolutely correct, but mate, where is the patriotism…Australia is by far NOT the rugby playing powerhouse that NZ, RSA or even England is, but boy, we try. In aforementioned countries rugby is gospel, not so much in Oz, yet still always there or there about…but I agree, Folau not the magic factor, look at grassroots for the answer, bring the game into schools, not just in NSW but country wide and things will improve I think…
Just one question will decide Folau's future
For us non christian rugby fans the bus is only in his head DP…no souls to be saved here my friend, only insult to be taken…KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! Your book of faith spreads nothing but hate (as quoted by other sensible participants here)
Izzy, you're a complete...
He is the one throwing it out there dear DP, we did not ask him to, he could have kept it to himself, or resign his 4M job and then jump on his religious platform and yap all he wants to… as a rugby fan I am interested in guess what?… RUGBY, not Izzies gospel
Izzy, you're a complete...
Billy boy is worth 25M, and that’s the crux of this matter, money hungry “christians”, I suggest IF find himself a job as a bricklayer and give up his 4M contract, see how much bible boy and outspoken he will then be…

@ Gloria.
All RA had to do was say that IF’s posts were his own opinion and do not reflect the corporations view.
Personally I don’t think it’s just that simple, modern societal norms dictate that we strive for order, religion having fulfilled that role for millennia, today many enlightened people stray away from religion, how do we now regulate order, there are laws, many congruent with religion, many purely by modern standards. Point is, if religious people are allowed to speak their piece indiscriminately and non-religious people are allowed the same right, what do we expect will happen to order as dictated by modern societal norms? REGARDLESS of what his contract says, he made a mistake purely by modern societal norms and standards IMHO.

@joeb
…and its all about the money isn’t it, Graham jnr, net worth 25M, this whole who ha has nothing to do with this idiots beliefs, he’s a money hungry (like most of us) attention seeking individual. If he is so religious, why not give up his 4M contract and continue doing the work of his god, write his own employment contract with his own clauses, he can add and remove from his bible texts whatever and however it pleases him (like most of them do)…but its the money and attention our christian boys is after…Cooper/Izzy?… have you watched rugby lately??

…I wish this app allowed me to give you 1M likes, well put…
Tah-Tah, Izzy: Rugby Australia, NSW Rugby confirm they'll sack Folau
@BS, men’s TENNIS, I fully agree, not CLOWNS antics, I turned off as well, like BO, expected to see the Barty match, instead had to watch the clown at it
Channel Seven was right to show Kyrgios over Barty
