Former Australia rugby union international Israel Folau has switched to rugby league with the Catalans Dragons LONDON: Israel Folau says he is"grateful" to be at Super League outfit Catalans Dragons as the competition's clubs held talks on Wednesday over the controversial signing of the dual-code international.

Dragons chairman Bernard Guasch was conspicuous by his absence at a meeting of Super League clubs in the northern English city of Salford on Wednesday, where the hot topic for discussion was the signing of Folau. Hull KR chairman Neil Hudgell wrote a letter to the Dragons warning them of possible legal consequences in the event of his club losing out financially due to the presence in Super League of Folau.

Folau, who scored 37 tries in 73 Test appearances for the Wallabies, was dismissed last May after a social media post warning"hell awaits" gay people.
