Gregan tells Folau to shut up

 Gregan tells Folau to shut up
Former Wallabies captain George Gregan

Former Wallabies captain George Gregan wants Israel Folau to stop preaching and let his football do the talking as Rugby Australia agonises over how to deal with the divisive superstar.

Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle admits Folau's provocative religious views opposing homosexuality and same‑sex marriage are proving the biggest challenge of her decade‑long sports administration career.

But despite conceding he was "walking the line", the former New Zealand Netball and Canterbury Bulldogs NRL chief executive has so far opted not to sanction the code‑hopping match‑winner.

For his part, Gregan ‑ an unashamed fan of the record‑setting dual international ‑ thinks it's time for Folau to shut up. The saga has continued for more than a month now.

Meanwhile the Waratahs will take on Crusaders at 5.15pm this Saturday while the Blues meet the Hurricanes at 7.35pm tomorrow.
