Writer Corrine Barraclough says Rugby Australia have "lost on every front" following the agreed settlement with former Wallaby Israel Folau.
Mr Folau was chasing $14 million in compensation, but the dollar figure of the out-of-court settlement is not known. Rugby Australia "have lost freedom of speech, they've lost financially," Ms Barraclough told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "They've lost credibility and they've lost a really good player". Image: Getty
