Video has emerged of Israel Folau fighting back tears while delivering a sermon at his church on Easter Sunday as he prepares for a showdown with Rugby Australia to decide his playing future.
In the video, first revealed by The Daily Telegraph and shown on Channel 9 breakfast TV program The Today Show on Friday morning, Folau spoke about how to deal with situations when an employer challenges your religious beliefs and referred to a bible passage about three men standing up for their beliefs even under the threat of death.
