Israel Folau is at peace in the face of potentially crippling cost of legal battle against Rugby Australia

Israel Folau says he is at peace as he weighs up the potentially crippling cost of his bitter legal battle with Rugby Australia.

Folau is awaiting sanctioning after being found guilty of a "high level" breach of his contract and could have his four‑year, $4 million deal terminated for his controversial social media posts.

Should the three‑person independent panel choose the most severe level of punishment in their power, it's expected the Wallabies superstar will appeal.

Meanwhile in the Super Rugby Competition on Friday, the Blues meet the Hurricanes at 7.35pm while the Rebels meet the Reds at 9.45pm.

On Saturday, the Crusaders meet the Bulls 5.10am, the Highlanders play the Jaguares at 5.15pm, the Chiefs meet the Sharks at 7.35pm and on Sunday the Lions face the Waratahs at 1.05am.
