"What I find disappointing is that an influential Pacific Island brother, closely followed by many people, admires him wholeheartedly and sees a message like the one that spreads hatred, rejection, a message of intolerance and difference, "Milner-Skudder said in an Instagram post.

"Many people are going to be affected, especially Pacific youth, and this is not what they need.

"I strongly believe that the color of your skin, your bad, your badual relations, your sins or your faults does not matter.

"We should be able to come together, love and respect each other, and do not let his words influence you.

"There are many other people who spread positive messages to try to empower and elevate our people.Love who you are, love who you want to be and be kind to others."

Leitch was even more direct.

"Israel Folau, I'm calling you, I thought your first comment about gays going to hell was outrageous.This last message came out of the portal.It's so fake in so many ways," Leitch said. a video on Instagram. clip titled "For @izzyfolau hope this happens to you".

"I respect your religion and what you believe, but use social media to almost preach your point of view … it connects so many people and everyone is not the same and there are so many people who are homobaduals, atheists, who drink for different reasons … there are people who have mental health problems.

"So go out and say that if you are homobadual or one of those types of people you go to hell, it's a stab in the heart."

Leitch concluded by stating that "we are currently living in a senseless society".

Rugby Australia quickly reacted to the continued use of social media by Waratah star Folau to spread her opinions.

Raelene Castle and Andrew Hore, leaders of Rugby Australia and New South Wales, said in a statement: "As a code, we have made it clear to Israel in a formal and repeated manner that any comments or comments in Social media was disrespectful to people, their baduality will result in disciplinary action.

"In the absence of convincing mitigating factors, we intend to terminate his contract."

They were frustrated by the unsuccessful attempts to directly involve Folau as a result of this latest incident, while Rugby Australia was setting up its Integrity Unit.

Castle and Hore said their organizations had "repeatedly tried to contact Israel both directly and through its representatives since Wednesday at 6:30 pm and that it had failed to communicate directly with these organizations ".

"While Israel is entitled to its religious beliefs, the way it has expressed it is inconsistent with the values ​​of sport." We want to make it clear that he does not speak for the game with his recent messages. on social media.

"Israel has not understood that, as an employee of Rugby Australia and NSW Waratahs, it expects that it will not be able to share on social media information condemning defaming or discriminating individuals because of their baduality.

"Rugby is a sport that continually works to unite people, we want everyone to feel safe and to be welcomed into our game." No vilification based on race, bad, religion or baduality is not acceptable and no language that isolates, divides or insults people on the basis of any of these factors can be tolerated. "
