Australia's Folau has resisted compromise for Christian beliefs via SABCNewsOnline

Folau, a fundamentalist Christian, is awaiting sanction after being found guilty of a 'high-level' breach of Rugby Australia's code of conduct ., has said he had chances to ease tensions amid the furore over his social media post and get back to playing rugby but had resisted them all because it would be doing “Satan’s” work.

The 73-cap Wallaby told his church congregation in Sydney that he understood he could lose his contract over the post but was not prepared to back-track for “material” comforts.“I could go back and play the game, get everything back to the way it used to be. Folau triggered similar controversy a year ago for a post that said gay people would go to hell if they did not ‘repent’ and was warned repeatedly over his use of social media, according to RA CEO Raelene Castle.
