Dual international Israel Folau is tantalisingly close to signing a two-year deal with Australian rugby after agreeing to terms with the NSW Waratahs.
It is understood the Wallabies fullback, who made his name in rugby league and experimented with AFL before switching to rugby union eight months ago, has agreed to play two more seasons under Michael Cheika at NSW and is now waiting for the Australian Rugby Union to come to the party before the deal is made official.
The Waratahs and the ARU, who both stump up funding for Wallabies players, were hoping to have matters finalised soon after the British and Irish Lions series, in which Folau made his Test debut in stunning fashion.

Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Have the rules changed? I thought you weren't supposed to report that a player had signed until the ARU had ratified the contract, and if that player was a Wallaby, that included the ARU top-up.
Or is it one rule for some, ...
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
The squad will be announced in 15 minutes, had to get it out there before then
Yep, one rule for some...
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
I think our CEO should jump on this one rule for one and different rules for others...But HEY! what do I know?

“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
