Maria Folau labels NRL, V’landys ‘hypocrites’ over Manly jersey controversy | sarah_keoghan
The wife of rugby figure Israel Folau has hit out at comments from Peter V’landys over the Manly pride jersey scandal, comparing the issue to her husband’s religious controversies.
Seven Manly players have pulled out of Thursday night’s match against the Roosters over the club’s decision to wear an “inclusivity jersey” as part of the women in league round. In response she wrote above the comments: “We’re all human beings at the end of the day ...Umm so what’s Izzy??....A donkey?”AdvertisementAfter Folau signalled his desire to join the NRL, V’landys said he would decide whether Folau would be allowed to play when a contract was offered to him, but had previously made his opinion of the former Wallaby clear.
