Some Wallabies players will boycott team if Folau is cleared to play

Some Wallabies players will refuse to pull on the green and gold jersey should Israel Folau be cleared to play for the national team.

One News reports that a number of Wallabies, including captain Michael Hooper, have expressed their disapproval of Folau's comments.

Folau faces a hearing this weekend, following his recent comments on social media that said gay people, among others, were destined for hell unless they repented.

It's the second time he's made comments about gay people on social media, and he now faces the sack and losing his $4 million contract.

Yesterday, prop Taniela Tupou expressed his anger at situations involving Folau and Wallabies teammate and Reds captain Samu Kerevi, highlighting further divisions within Australian rugby.

The Waratahs will face the Bulls at 1.05am Sunday.

In tonight’s game, Crusaders will take on the Sharks at 7.35pm while the Reds will face the Sunwolves at 9.45pm.
