Former Wallaby Israel Folau has thanked donors for pouring more than $570,000 into his legal fight against Rugby Australia, doubling down on his intention to use the funds despite public outcry.

Hardline Christian Folau had his $4 million Rugby Australia contract terminated in May after a social media post citing the Bible was deemed homophobic.
