Support for Folau: What does this mean for Rugby Australia

From Afternoons, 1:17 pm on 1 May 2019

A Wallabies player has come out in support of Israel Folau, suggesting Pacific Island players are under attack for their religious beliefs. 

Just days before Folau stands before a conduct hearing over his comments about homosexuals and sinners, Taniela Tupou posted on his Facebook page saying they "might as well sack me and all the other Pacific Islands rugby players around the world because we have the same Christian beliefs". 

Professor Jack Anderson, Director of Sports Law Studies at the University of Melbourne is with us to discuss this latest development.
