Social media restrictions

Tonga to apply social media restrictions on Israel Folau

Folau, an evangelical Christian, will soon make his return to international rugby, three years on from the termination of his Wallabies contract after he posted a meme on social media that said “hell” awaits homosexual people and other groups.

Former World Cup winner and Wallabies great Kefu said he had yet to discuss social media with Folau but trusted the 33-year-old would not cause problems for his team in the meantime.

“That’s probably the elephant in the room,” the Tonga coach told Reuters.
