Israel Folau says there’s no room for homophobes in rugby and he is certain there are none at the NSW Waratahs.

David Pocock’s allegation that homophobic slurs were directed at the Brumbies during the Waratahs’ 28-13 Super Rugby win in Syndey on Sunday has brought the issue to a head – less than 12 months after the ARU signed off on an “inclusion” policy.

Folau, though, is adamant there are no homophobes at the Waratahs, the reigning Super champions.

“Certainly not. I don’t see that anywhere within our team and also in rugby in general,” Folau said on Monday.
