Sacked dual‑code rugby star Israel Folau has launched a bid to raise donations from the public to fight his legal case against Rugby Australia.
Folau, whose contract with the Australian union's governing body was terminated in May over homophobic social media posts has set up a GoFundMe page to raise the NZ$3.15 million says he needs to cover costs in his bid to seek reinstatement.
The 30‑year‑old Wallabies back says he has already spent more than $105,000 of his own money in fees which are expected to rise to millions of dollars.
The fund had raised $346 from seven donations as of early this morning.
