Israel Folau’s code of conduct panellists named
The three-person panel that will decide Israel Folau’s rugby future has been confirmed.
The panel for Israel Folau’s code of conduct hearing has been confirmed, with John West QC the chair.
Rugby Australia’s Kate Eastman SC and Rugby Union Players’ Association representative John Boultbee AM are the other panellists as Folau fights to save his career.
The three-time John Eales Medallist requested the hearing, expected to take place next week, after being issued with a “high level” breach of contract notice from RA following a series of homophobic social media posts.
Folau has hired lawyer Ramy Qutami, who has previously represented Salim Mehajer and is defending Jarryd Hayne and Dylan Walker, to take the fight to Rugby Australia on his behalf.
