Star whose contract was terminated says he was denied the chance to captain Australia
Melbourne — Former Wallabies fullback Israel Folau has raised his compensation claim against Rugby Australia and the Waratahs to $9.50m in an updated court filing.
The 30-year-old filed an amended statement of claim to the Federal Circuit Court on Wednesday that said his termination had denied him a chance to captain the Wallabies. Folau, who has cast his legal challenge as a fight for religious freedom, is also seeking an apology from RA and the right to resume his international career. The trial is set to begin in February if final mediation between the parties fails in December.
