"We've got a lot of people misrepresenting facts, or deliberately ignoring them, you've got soft ball PR interviews with blatant misrepresentations, but that's not the game we can play.
Clyne reiterated that RA was attempting to avoid a lengthy and costly legal case, "for the good of the game". "We are looking at it from the good of the game as a whole. No one is suggesting this is helpful but I would go back to Israel Folau's comments from last year [in April 2018] when he said if it was hurting the game he'd walk away for the good of the game.
"But to those who are saying you should bankrupt the game and allow religious freedom, well we do allow religious freedom but what we don't allow is disparagement and that's clear under [Folau's] contract."Clyne also defended the sporting body's process that led to RA and Folau's current stalemate.
Geez I would’ve thought RugbyAU could come up with a better argument than that. That is so weak and just scrambling for something to say.
RugbyAUS is digging a deeper hole for themselves. The media is faning the fire...
RA has been on a downward spiral for years. Folau is an idiot as he could have kept his thoughts to himself for 4 years. RA are stupid as they went the political correct route. The should have handled this better. World Cup Failure !
Religion is gay
What utter garbage
Oh please!! As much as I disagree with Folau's homophobic views, one individual does not totally tarnish any sporting body. If it were so then Aussie Rules, Rugby League and Rugby Union would all be defunct considering the number of GBH, drunken lewd behaviour, rapes etc etc.
The chairman of Rugby Union can get stuffed
And another nail in RAs coffin. This must be a huge PR nightmare for RA and their sponsors already.
Screw rugby australia.

NSW Rugby chair calls for settlement on Folau sagaNSW Rugby chairman calls for settlement on Israel Folau saga, saying the game is paying too high a price for RA to be proved right on the matter. Someone is getting a bit nervous, Bwhahahaha, 'paying too high a price to be proved right'. Leftards, the gift that keeps on giving. Hopeless act, and yet the saga continues, it is an approval to the player to continue what he does best, what stops the existing players seek a similar payout, now i can see that happening faster than anyone thinks. not sure were you threatened to take this resolve

Australia’s real verdict on FolauIsrael Folau’s legal fight to save his rugby career has divided Australia — and a newscomauHQ poll on the key questions at the heart of the debate shows just how stark that divide is. PUBLIC CORRECTNESS used by people and industry to oppose FREE SPEECH and make demands, that is very close to BULLYING. A Sports body wants to control what their players say. Other organisations want to bully us into following their doctrine. SUCH BEHAVIOUR AND BULLYING MUST BE STOPPED AND MUST NOT BE TOLERATED. Eventually, EVERYONE will be a LOSER. Do not forget about that Qantas gay, arse-enjoying Leprechaun. HE and that SEX OBJECT who runs Rugby AUSTRALIA started it. Oh man I'm so over this negative/sensitive/insensitive to straight people getting mad to gay people being triggered. If you're gay, whatever this guy thinks doesn't change it. If you're christian, nobody gives a shit. Opinions are worthless. So tell your kids to buy BITCOIN!

'Backed into a corner': Israel Folau hopes for Rugby Australia apologyIsrael Folau has told Sky News Australia that he feels he is owed an apology from Rugby Australia, who he says offered him money to take down the controversial social-media post that ended his career. I hope that’s true for his sake. RA offered you a way out, you didn’t take it, got sacked, now you want to sue. An employer compelling the behaviour of their employees is not a free speech issue, you great supine invertebrate jellies. Can't wait to see the court case . Maybe Sponsors should ask Folau for money back. The sponsors have to decide between sport or religion.

‘Suicide mission’: Folau team’s bold ideaAs the next step in Israel Folau’s case against Rugby Australia looms today, it has emerged his legal team has pondered a drastic tactic. That missions potential outcome has a word in it he should consider as an option Disappointing to see that this is the current landing page on your website . I implore you to revise this headline ASAP. MindframeMedia guidelines clearly state that this is an inaccurate use of the term ‘suicide’. Completely out of context. You need to do better!!! I’m curious.. if they settle out of court.. where does all those millions donated go? I’m sure those that donated wanted a court case ...not to help someone have a lavish lifestyle.
