what happened to israel folau

Israel Folau is a former Australian rugby union and rugby league player who was sacked by Rugby Australia in May 2019 for repeated anti-gay social media posts ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. He then launched legal action against Rugby Australia for unfair dismissal, and the two parties later reached an undisclosed settlement that was reported to be anywhere between $1.5 and $6 million. After his contract was terminated, Folau switched his allegiance to Tonga and made his debut for the team in 2022. However, he will not feature at the Rugby World Cup 2023 due to a knee injury.
