It comes as reports emerge that the rugby star’s cousin, Josiah Folau, left his position at St. Gregory’s College in Campbelltown after describing the Catholic Church as “the synagogue of Satan”.
The CEO of Rugby Australia said the decision was “a painful situation for the game”.
Folau is reportedly committed to fighting the outcome every step of the way, including the possibility of taking the matter to the High Court.
“I don’t say this lightly, what I’m about to say. The language I use…it’s to get that message across. There are literally kids in the suburbs killing themselves.”
Folau was given until 2pm today to either accept termination of his contract or respond to the breach notice, and he has asked for the matter to be referred to a code of conduct tribunal.
