SACKED former Wallabies full-back Israel Folau has been accused of greed after launching an online fundraising drive for his legal action against Rugby Australia.
Folau’s 4 million Australian dollar (£2.2m) contract was terminated after he posted on social media that all homosexuals would go to hell before an independent panel upheld that decision.
The 30-year-old has now taken his case to the Fair Work Commission and has set up a GoFundMe page asking for £1.6m for his legal battle.
