Wallabies star Israel Folau has once again indicated that he is not a supporter of gay lifestyles and culture, despite the fact that he rocked a dashing feathered blonde fringe for a whole season back in 2014.
Folau insists that his absolutely fabulous hairstyle, which saw him all the way to his first Super Rugby premiership, had been styled only by heterosexuals, a claim that even his cauliflower-eared team mates are skeptical of.
“He’s bullshitting” says one prominent country boy playing for the Waratahs, who asked to remain anonymous.
“That salad has come straight out of Oxford street. No way his barber was straight. Look at the precision!”
“It was beautiful. His haircut, and the confidence that came with it, it was a big part of our premiership that year”
Folau did not appear to be willing to back down ahead of his controversial social media post, where he was posting biblical references to being “persecuted” for his beliefs that gays should be persecuted.
Folau has been under siege over the last 18 months for using social media to say that gay people are destined for hell.
He was called to meet with Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle and Waratahs chief executive Andrew Hore at RA headquarters on several times now but still doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong.
The Wallabies are now under pressure from major sponsors Qantas, Asics and Land Rover to distance themselves from Folau’s comments, which appears to be in breach of the game’s code of conduct and inclusion policy.
It seems that Izzy just wants to break his contract and return to playing for his beloved Brisbane Broncos in the NRL, a club well-known for harbouring good Christians who behave themselves on weekends and don’t have sex out of wedlock.
