Folau, who was embroiled in a similar controversy in 2018, is due to be fired by Rugby Australia just months away from the World Cup. “I am not sure if it is surprising. It was unexpected,” said McCall. “He is a human being and I am sure there is stuff going on in his head,” said the coach, who insisted the controversy had not affected his decision to only have him on the replacements bench.“The club have made a clear statement and we have not sat down with him yet. I will talk to him myself.”
“It is seven days away and we have to look at it,” said McCall. “We will make rugby decisions ahead of our selection,” added the 51-year-old Northern Irishman.“So this morning I got 3 phone calls from people telling me to ‘unlike’ the @izzyfolau post. This is my position on it,” he said on his Instagram page.
