Controversial Israel Folau is 'definitely interested' in playing for Tonga at next year's Rugby World Cup and has 'no regrets' over the homophobic comments that ended his Wallabies career. | Sport24news

is"definitely interested" in playing for Tonga at next year's Rugby World Cup and has"no regrets" over the homophobic comments that ended his Wallabies career.

"Representing your heritage and where you're from, representing your parents is something that is quite close to not only myself but to many other Polynesians," said Folau, Super Rugby's all-time top try-scorer. He said he has now"moved forward from what's happened in the past" and was enjoying playing again after joining Japanese club NTT Communications Shining Arcs Tokyo-Bay Urayasu on a two-year deal.

He had previously been embroiled in a similar row and he went on to cause further offence in 2019 when he suggested that bushfires and drought ravaging Australia were"God's judgement" for the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion.His sacking by Rugby Australia sparked a backlash from supporters of free speech and religious expression.
