Israel Folau's desire to share his religious faith on social media got him into trouble for the first time last year.

File: Israel Folau has stood by his comments and said he was prepared to choose his faith over rugby.moved a step closer to being sacked by Rugby Australia after he was adjudged on Tuesday to have committed a high-level breach of the player's code of conduct with a social media post.

Folau has a right to appeal the judgement but a high-level breach of the code of conduct would be sufficient for RA and his Super Rugby side, the New South Wales Waratahs, to dismiss the 73-test back. A high profile recruit to the sport in 2013, the former rugby league international and Australian Rules player last month became the top try scorer in the history of Super Rugby.
