How they never had Folau tied up as tight as a drum when he signed his last contract is beyond me.

No real loss. The world's moved on and rugby doesn't offer anything that League, AFL, American football, Gaelic and soccer don't do better.Rugby very much a risky proposition recovering in this country
I don't feel particularly strongly about rugby either way but it feels like an irrelevant sport.No real loss. The world's moved on and rugby doesn't offer anything that League, AFL, American football, Gaelic and soccer don't do better.

True. But I think that presence is diminishing rapidly.Well other than rugby only soccer has an international presence and is an olympic sport

True. But I think that presence is diminishing rapidly.
I just think a lot of people round the world aren't that thrilled by the "spectacle" (and I use the term advisedly) that rugby union offers anymore. Tastes have evolved.
Rugby union officials are happy to let people think the sport is more international than it really is. No country outside New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales (these 3 are really 1 country) and I guess Italy and Argentina can field a side of their own professional players. Like cricket they let in a bunch of shit teams for the world cup.
Union shoots itself in the foot in this country by priding itself as a toffs game, but that is all I will say on that matter for this thread. Dumbarses like Folau just enhance the stagnant growth.
True, but thats still 10 more than AFL, Gaelic or NFL and 8 more than league
American football is bigger than rugby union
Thats not what I was replying to, it was "No country outside New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales (these 3 are really 1 country) and I guess Italy and Argentina can field a side of their own professional players". I dont think many countries outside the US could field an NFL team (although Australia would have a crack punting unit)
It's the old international appeal/vs local uniqueness argument.True, but thats still 10 more than AFL, Gaelic or NFL and 8 more than league
Oh noes, his religious right to be a discriminatory arsewipe is being crushed!!!'As Rugby Australia attempts to work out who will grab the No.15 jersey and wear it in the lead-up to the 2023 World Cup, 32-year-old Folau will run out in Japan. It will be his first rugby match since RA tore up his multi-million-deal in early 2019, for what the governing body deemed homophobic remarks on social media.'
Wallabies great Will Genia said the Japanese community would judge Folau on his deeds this season.
“He’s a great guy,” Genia said. “Regardless of all that’s gone on. He’s always been humble, hard working and genuinely kind.”
& of more importance is his awareness:
'He has not published a religious post on Instagram since August 1, 2019.'

Pretty sure it was the idolatrous bigots in the LNP and the Murdoch Slime Pool who were defending his right to be a bigot and to say that they were going to hell.other idolators (read Catholics)

Of course, ipso facto, they are dumb as dogshit, and probably didn't realise he was talking about them.
They twigged eventually however, and forced the removal of the Folau Clause from their obnoxious Religious Right to Discriminate Bill.
Instead of playing fullback for his country and earning the world's admiration for his freakish skills, he's toiling away in anonymity in Japan. Hope all that money makes him happy.'As Rugby Australia attempts to work out who will grab the No.15 jersey and wear it in the lead-up to the 2023 World Cup, 32-year-old Folau will run out in Japan.
