Disgraced Wallabies star Israel Folau has reportedly roped in heavyweight lawyer Ramy Qutami to help save his rugby career.
According to Sydney's Daily Telegraph, Folau has hired the high-profile legal man to represent him in his battle with Rugby Australia (RA) - less than 24 hours after he indicated that
he would appeal RA's decision to issue him with a breach notice for his anti-gay social media post last week.
Folau sparked outrage last week when he posted on Instagram that homosexuals are going to hell unless they repented, echoing similar posts last year that saw him warned but not sanctioned.
RA said the 30-year-old Wallabies and New South Wales fullback has requested a Code of Conduct hearing over his possible dismissal for making anti-gay comments on social media.
The Daily Telegraph reported Folau has hired Qutami, who is also representing embattled NRL duo, Jarryd Hayne and Dylan Walker.
