"The devil has blinded so many people in this world, REPENT and turn away from your evil ways. Turn to Jesus Christ who will set you free," Folau posted on Twitter.
While most people criticised Folau for his opinions, he has garnered support in some corners, with a GoFundMe page set up to collect donations for Folau.
The donation page, set up by Nevada woman Elisiva Esikia, aims to raise $1 million in donations for the rugby star, with 60 per cent going to Folau if he loses his job.
