Catalans Dragons have reportedly decided against unveiling Israel Folau at a public media conference.
Catalans Dragons have reportedly backtracked on their plan to unveil Israel Folau at a media conference due to the backlash they have received since his signing was announced.

The France-based Dragons have been widely criticised after it emerged they had signed on a one-year deal the Australian dual-code international, who was sacked by Rugby Australia last May for homophobic social media posts.
