'Faith and beliefs review' to be held after Israel Folau's sacking | tomdecent
The Rugby Union Players’ Association has pledged to undertake an "expression of faith and beliefs review" to ensure its members have clear parameters on how they should express religious views in the wake of a "sad outcome" for sacked Wallabies and Waratahs star Israel Folau.
"RUPA notes that Rugby AU has not yet provided any clear or specific parameters to the professional playing group specifying how it expects individual professional players to express their faith and beliefs in manner acceptable to Rugby AU," the RUPA statement read. RUPA will invite RA and Super Rugby representatives to participate in the review and believe that greater collaboration will result in a better outcome for all parties involved.
Waratahs prop Sekope Kepu said he would miss his "toko", which is Tongan slang for brother or close friend.If Folau does take the matter to the courts, the saga could drag on for months to come.
