Rugby Australia reaches settlement with Folau
Rugby Australia has avoided a costly and potentially embarrassing legal trial after reaching a settlement agreement with sacked Wallaby Israel Folau.
Folau claimed he was unlawfully sacked because of his religion in May this year.
RA maintains Folau breached the professional players' code of conduct with two social media posts condemning homosexuals to Hell and labelling as "evil" the legal recognition of transgender and intersex Australians.
The parties underwent many hours of negotiations with a court-appointed mediator in court and over the phone this week and on Wednesday reached an agreement.
