Israel Folau shakes up his social media profiles as decision looms over his playing future

Israel Folau has switched up his social media profiles as a decision looms on the Wallabies star's future.

Folau's Instagram and Twitter accounts no longer feature a picture of him playing for the Waratahs but instead a new image of the number '1' and the words 'God first'.

His unchanged bio then reads: "Living for Jesus Christ #TeamJesus".

The Wallabies superstar, a fundamentalist Christian, is expected to learn his fate this week, possibly as early as Wednesday, after being found guilty of a high-level breach of Rugby Australia's professional players' code of conduct.

The independent three-member panel that deemed Folau's controversial social media posts about homosexuals and other so-called "sinners" being destined for hell is considering written submissions from Folau's legal team and the governing body.

Termination of his four-year, $4 million contract seems most likely, rather than a fine or suspension, after Folau rejected a peace offering from RA to remove his latest inflammatory post from Instagram and be allowed to play on.

A few days ago the unrepentant Wallaby described his controversial fallout with the Rugby establishment as "challenging" and spoken of being tempted by the "opportunity" to rekindle his career during a Sydney church address.

In a video of him speaking at a church service on Sunday afternoon, Folau said the process was not finished and the "outcome is yet to be known".

"Potentially I could get terminated, which means that there's no more playing contract and therefore no more finances or money coming in," he said from the lectern.

"It's been really challenging but also it's been encouraging to myself to see what my God is actually doing," he said.
