Israel Folau's $4 million contract torn up over Instagram post
Israel Folau's Australian rugby union career appears over, after a three-person panel ordered that the Wallabies star's four-year contract be terminated as punishment for his breach of the players' code of conduct.
The panel, which this month ruled that Folau was guilty of a "high-level breach" of the players' code over his controversial Instagram posts, including one proclaiming hell awaits "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters", decided to rip up the 30-year-old's four-year, $4 million contract.

Rugby Australia (RA) chief executive Raelene Castle said the decision had not been directly communicated to Folau.
