Israel Folau has been linked – albeit tenuously – with a move back to rugby union.
Folau split with Australian Rugby in 2019 after he repeatedly posted what were perceived as homophobic religious memes to social media platforms.
He was fired and he then took Rugby Australia to court and won a multi-million dollar pay out.
Now French rugby publication Midi Olympique are reporting that the former Wallaby superstar, who was rumoured to have declined an approach by Montpellier last year, is coming to the end of his Catalan Dragons contract, sparking fresh interest in French rugby union circles.
According to Midi, Folau had piqued the interest of Bayonne in recent times, but Toulon are now interested in luring the star back to the fifteen man code.
