Israel Folau to make shock rugby league return with TongaIsrael Folau is banned by Rugby Australia and the NRL over his controversial social media posts — but he will return to international rugby league, playing for Tonga. What a joke So muslims want to put Aussies in jail for sex outside of marriage in Bali and I'm sure this includes gays. So the left call homophobic and hate but they want more muslims who if get the numbers will enforce such laws in AUS. LOL! This is how dumb people are these days. Good on him. :)
