Israel Folau - Amazing Pace 

Israel Folau is an incredibly gifted rugby player and even though I am a Kiwi I fully respect his skills, joy and passion for the game... :-)

I can sit here all night watching highlights of Lomu & Folau, amazing players

🙏 Israel Folau's quote was very inclusive. It included each and everyone of us. Thank you for standing firm Israel.

amazing, amazing player. a man of principles. a man with good intentions. a amazing man. freedom of speech for all. tolerance of everyones beliefs and opinions. thankyou izzy.

Massive respect to him...from Springbok supporter.

What a player. One of the stand-out players of this century

God bless Israel Folau! Supporting you all the way!

Makes me think where the term ‘kangaroo court’ comes from. It’s evidently still operating and has now sidelined Australia’s best attacking player four months out from the Rugby World Cup.

His line and angle running is amazing, try scoring machine too. Hope he gets to play again , return to League would be interesting but probably thats it for him

Thank you for sharing! Really well put!!! Loving the originality to this!

What a player we love ❤️ u for what u stand for on ground & certainly off ground.

Good to make this video. I do not share his beliefs but he should not have been banned for post on tweeter or facebook, in which world are we living xD? He has amazing flair, class offloads, amazing step, really good acceleration & so on :D So sad we will not see him play for the WC.

God Bless you dear brother . John 3 : 16

Such a shame his career was cut short. Many more try scoring records would've been his. What an amazing talent

Best player in the world, if he doesn’t get back to the Tahs he should go to Japan and make even more money

Awesome player, very steady guy

What a player!! had fans in awe or on there edge of the seats every time he would touch the ball. mate it is going to be hard watching the wallabies without izzy let alone the waratahs and i suspect i am not the only one thinking so. R.I.P ARU

God bless Israel Folau

I'm an atheist, but freedom of expression must be the ultimate line of defence. Once freedom of your beliefs is gone democracy is gone.

Don't agree with his bias but absolutely agree with his rights. Business is not bigger than his beliefs. Happy to BBQ with Israel and play rugby with him bc his personal is not my personal - and tolerance makes a great society... not "hate" speech from him... just a plea for his idea of salvation - trying to help. As for me 'cheers mate - free speech'.

Greatest Australian player under the worse coaching and management organisation

Folau would have to be one of the first picked in any Oz team

Tony Scown Yesterday · In 2014 current wallaby Kurtley Beale sent two humiliating naked photographs of an overweight female to the only female Wallaby staff member on tour, with a degrading message. This caused the staff member to break down under the stress. Then on a long haul flight it was reported that he had an altercation with the same female staffer. The female staffer resigned from her role within months due to the humiliation and stress. The whole saga reportedly led to team issues because of the media attention. Ewan McKenzie the coach at the time resigned and Kurtley Beale was suspended for a time and fined $45,000. However he is still in the current Wallaby squad to this day. It was reported at the time that he had the support of the playing squad. Then last year Kurtley Beale, the same Wallaby veteran was not disciplined after two different videos emerged of him in a room with "white powder.” Even though the two videos show him there with the substance, ARU Chief Executive Raelene Castle said, “He was not seen in the vision, to be involved in the use of any illicit substances,”. However, as a role model, should he be in that room at all? Then there is this from last year. James Slipper a Wallaby was stood down for 2 months and fined $27,500 for testing positive to cocaine twice in 2018. He is now playing for the Brumbies in the Super Rugby. Then we have Israel Falou…..A Christian with an impeccable record on and off the field. He shared an original post and was reprimanded. He shares a bible verse. The result He gets sacked from the Wallabies and the Waratahs and banished from the game and penalised 4 million dollars. I do want to state that I am not trying to defame any of these men. This is all on public record. I am simply making comparisons. My two questions are 1. Did Kurtley Beale and James Slipper not also break the same code of conduct, so why the discrepancy? 2. Did the sponsors have anything to say to the ARU regarding their brand in relation to Mr Beale and Mr Slipper. If not, why not?

Sad to say AUS has made a HUGE mistake getting rid of him... He just quoted the bible in his own time, there was no contractual agreement not to. AUS can't do it without him, and I know this will affect all the other Pacific Islanders... HUGE mistake all for the stupidity of politics...

He’s a superstar and what is RA & Qantas about to do to his career is hell to Australia Rugby.

Israel always the best and good finisher will sorely miss in the Rugby World Cup

The best and greatest. #folau

I am not rugby fan but this man is from another planet! The messi of Rugby!

I'm All Blacks all day but man Folau is a remarkable talent, I doubt Aussie will make it out of pool the world cup without Folau

was the best player in the world in his prime. Imagine if he didn't miss those couple years where he was banned.

Great stuff, no more qantas flights for me or my family, band permanently for life Including anything they elect to sponsor in sport or anything else.....Qantas need to think twice when they take actions understanding the impacts of 4IR and the impact it has on brand in the digital transformed world. Hopefully other sports bodies will now turn down their offer of sponsorship.

i miss him

Speaks poorly for the state of Australian leadership talent the day Raelene Castle can be claimed as the most qualified candidate to hold the CEO title of rugby Australia.

Here are 10 truths Scripture reveals regarding death: from Jennifer Slattery 1. It’s not the end. Some believe once we die, we simply cease existing. They assert that human consciousness arises gradually as the brain develops and will either slowly deteriorate or simply cease. The Bible, however, says differently. Scripture teaches that while our present physical bodies will decompose, our souls will live forever, either in God’s presence or eternally separated from Him. In Matthew 25, after sharing two parables designed to reveal the realities regarding God’s kingdom, Jesus discussed a time when He will separate the “sheep from the goats.” Those declared righteous through His blood will receive eternal life, whereas those who rejected Him will “go away to eternal punishment” (Matt. 25:45). In other words, eternity awaits all, though our ultimate destination may look vastly different. 2. We don’t have to fear death. God never wants us, His beloved creations, to live in fear, uncertainty, or confusion. In Christ, He offers us a certain, glorious and joy-filled destination; a future free of pain, sorrow and sickness. This invitation is open to all who trust not in themselves or their good works but instead in Jesus and the price He paid. When we believe Christ is who He says He is-the sinless Son of God-and did what He said He did-died for our sins and rose from the dead-Scripture says we receive entrance into heaven. We’re granted unhindered, relational intimacy with our Savior. He who holds the universe in His hand holds our lives, now and forever more, as well. This means, when our bodies fail and illness invades, we can rest knowing we’re secure in God’s unshakable, unbreakable love. 3. Not everyone goes to the same place. According to Scripture, each of us will go to one of two places once we die. Those who’ve trusted in Christ for salvation will immediately be ushered into His presence, where they will remain for all of eternity. Those who have rejected Him and His offer of grace, however, will spend eternity hell. Hell isn’t a place we like to talk or read about, but Jesus, the One offering eternal life, addressed this topic on more than one occasion. He told us it’s a place of darkness and of fire, populated by the wicked and rebellious. With each parable and statement, it’s as if He’s offering us a warning: “There’s death” and in this context, that means separation from God, “and life. Choose life.” What if our inner angst regarding hell points to the heart of God? Scripture is clear: God is a loving Father who doesn’t want anyone to perish. “‘As I live,’ declares the Sovereign Lord, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked’” (Ez. 33:11). To the contrary; God is loving toward all of His creation and heaven rejoices when a single sinner recognizes her need for Jesus and turns to Him. 4. Because Jesus overcame death, so will we. God originally created the world free of sin and death. When mankind rebelled against Him (Gen. 3), we broke our relationship with God the Father and the curse of death and sin began to rule. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He broke the power of both, and “since we have been united with Him in His death” through faith, “we will also be raised to life as He was” (Rom. 6:5). Jesus demonstrated this unchanging truth when He stepped out of the tomb, alive. This means, though our physical bodies will cease to function, our souls will immediately enter into God’s presence. Later, when Christ returns, our souls will be reunited with our physical, then “glorified” bodies, which will be raised from the dead.1 5. Spiritual death is separation from God. It’s easy to read modern definitions for words and ideas for concepts and situations into biblical text. This often occurs when someone thinks of death. To our way of thinking, death means the end of something and the complete cessation of life. In Scripture, however, death primarily means separation-separation of man’s spirit from his body and of man from God. For example, Scripture reveals our physical bodies will eventually cease to function and will begin to decay. Our souls, however, are eternal. Therefore, once brain death occurs, our bodies and souls separate. Similarly, spiritual death, caused by sin, separates man from His Creator. When we receive eternal life, our relationship with God is restored. Those who don’t trust in God for salvation, however, remain in death-eternally separated from Him and therefore all the love and goodness and righteousness that stems from Him. This is hell. 6. We don’t have to die alone. Once we trust in Christ for salvation, our relationship with Him is restored, never to be broken again. He makes His home within us, surrounds us, walks beside us, and we become one with Him. Therefore, from that moment on, we are never and will never be alone. In Christ, God’s presence surrounds us completely. This was the message Jesus was trying to convey to His disciples on the night before He died. “[the Father] will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth” which is the Holy Spirit. “You know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. … On that day, you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you” (John 14:17b-20). Though others, perhaps even those closest to us, may abandon or reject us, Christ never will. When our time on earth ends, He’ll usher us into paradise where we’ll experience His love and presence at a depth unimaginable to our finite minds. 7. Death was never God’s intent. Scripture tells us God designed humans to live eternally in deep relationship with Him. He created the rest of the universe by a mere command, speaking stars, planets, and oceans into being. But when it came to man, God’s involvement was much more direct and intimate. “Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being” (Gen. 2:7). Psalm 139 tells us He knit together our inmost being, that He knows us fully, and “searches” our depths. All of these passages speak of a loving Father and Creator deeply involved with His creation. Though mankind’s sin brought death-separation from God-into the world, this was never God’s intent. He created us for life. Life with Him. 8. Sin won’t always rein. When we view our world, with all the anger, hatred, political upheaval, and wars, it can feel as if evil is winning and always will. But Scripture promises this isn’t true. One day Jesus will return, sin will be banished from His presence for good, and He will make all things right. Revelation 21:4 promises, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, no mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." May this truth give us hope and peace as we endure all the chaos in our broken world. 9. We mourn with hope. When we lose a loved one, it may feel as if a part of ourselves has been taken with them. We grieve the moments we’ll no longer be able to share and the dreams or desires that may never be realized. Though this pain is real and deep, if our loved ones belong to Jesus, our sorrow is always tinged with the certainty that one day, we will see them again. Scripture promises this and Jesus’ death and resurrection proved it. “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him” (1 Thes. 4:14). This means, for those in the family of faith, our goodbyes are never truly goodbyes but rather we look forward to seeing one another again. 10. Heaven will be better than anything we can imagine. I’ve experienced some amazing things. I’ve visited the Grand Canyon, Hawaii, and Yosemite. I’ve enjoyed Disney Land with my laughing, skipping daughter when she still dressed in Princess gowns and tutus. I’ve eaten enough ice cream of all varieties to fill numerous freezers, but all of these experiences pale compared to what awaits Christ-followers in heaven. In fact, heaven will be better than all the earthly pleasures combined across the span of time. Regarding this, the Bible says, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived-the things God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor. 2:9). Physical death is inevitable this side of heaven, but this was never God’s intent for His beloved creation. Nor is this where He wishes for us to remain. In Christ, He offers us life-to experience, through relationship with Him, all the good and lovely and amazing blessings He has planned for us. He wants to surround us in His love, from now into eternity, and in so doing, casts out all fear. Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, we, His beloved, can confidently say, “Where, o death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:55-57).

Israel Folau is the ONLY suprestar and most exciting player that Australian Rugby has. They have punished him unfairly. He''s gone from Australian rugby, and so do I and my family for good !!!!

Mr Folau is the Best attacking Rugby and Ruby League player in history tries scored Australia Rugby paid him over 18 million $AU He will crack League again best player by country mile play in Tongan team to win next year's World Cup and beat Australia again

Best#15💯💪

Brilliance

some idiots in management said his team disliked him. sure doesnt seem to be the case when i watch how they congratulate him. His teammates also came forward after that comments to say that they liked him and got along with him fine

#IstandwithIsrael

If he's out of the world cup, I'm boycotting.

Since 17 he was always destined to be the best one of the greatest players

What an incredible athlete judged on a social media comment where other players have committed worse crimes! I will never look at RA the same ever. What RA has failed to recognise is that the people that Israel mentioned in his somewhat insensitive comment online are still getting persecuted regardless.

he's fabulous

Your video are always top level. Just a little advice: you could add and make categories of his play : the high balls, tackle, steps, pass & offlads and so on. Would be perfect!

If this is the end of his career, going miss watching him. One of the most exciting rugby players ever.

What an AMAZING talent!!! I hope we get smashed and lose every game In the world cup.. very sad what they have done to him, rugby and freedom of speech.. Sad, head up IF💪

No Israel no watching anymore!!!!

Such a talented player. The star of the Wallabies. For a Christian rugby player to be thrown out of the team at the height of his career just for quoting the Bible, is downright scandalous! The Wallabies went into a downward spiral since his banishment. No wonder they exited the last WRC with a beating. Now they are ranked 7th in the world.

i wish i played some rugby

Amazing skills!... Amazing try scorer. ... Amazing grace.

He is a great player

Yes he is the king of rugby, has the gift from the gods, love this guys, well miss you brother, god well have a better team for you. 🙏🏾

Thank God for Israel , he is a great man, super rugby player. We need more role models in the sport, like this sound Christian, for young people to look up to moral lives. There's plenty of immoral examples around, thank God for Israel.

I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS OWN DAMN BROTHERS (Teammates) RUNNING HIM UNDER THE BUS!!! Drew Mitchell & Michael Hooper his own damn Captain to name 2.. funny how that incident revealed the real uglies of this game. Hooper I was adored I can never look at the same again. As a captain.. that’s unforgivable. Mitchell had a lot to say cause he wasn’t half the player Folau was. Unforgettable Moment in Australian Sporting History. UGLY

He is too good..

League players always dominated union

6:16 Holy smokes those tackles!!

I believe Israel is correct in saying that Paul's letter to the Church at Corinth proclaimed that neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God, so long as they remain unrepentant. Perhaps don't shoot the messenger? And clearly Paul wasn't singling out just homosexual acts, we can all take our pick from the 10 categories of sin he mentions, as well as a few that have since become popular.

Sad to see such a great talent lost to Australian rugby because of political correctness.

god bless u brother.

Who would’ve thought’ one of the greatest ball runners of all time would be persecuted for his beliefs! Shame on u ARU!

So sad when he left Rugby League.

He must be the leading try scorer against the All Blacks.

I wander if wallabies will ever recover the blunders on the last 20 years... banning Folau was the first nail of the coffin for Australian rugby

Wow, great tries therein!

Michael Cheika your contract finish soon after the Rugby World Cup in Japan 2019.

Downfall of ARU started when they got rid of this Superstar. Shame on them and God Bless Folau

He is by far Australia’s best player what a shame that we can’t see him play in the World Cup. We live in a world where transgenders can play in women sports but soon as someone speaks up about the LGBT community they get prosecuted. Soon there going to band the Bible and say it’s a hate book.

Of course, if he quoted the Bible while scoring any of these tries, they would've been disallowed ...

Probably the only Australian Rugby player I like. On and off the field.

#rugbysuperstar 😀 15:29

😭😭😭

... how sweet the sound

Jeez they truly look like wabblies at the World Cup without him

Come to rugby league (I'm sure Peter Beattie will change his mind given what Queenslanders think)

I support Israel’s and his free religious speech! Way to go mate!

Thk u. Best video n ur the best Folau. God bless u.

As good as he is on the field, he is a much greater off the field

“Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian.” Moby Dick. Lots of religious nuts in this section. So I thought I'd share one of my favourite books. Except I acknowledge it as a work of fiction.

Folau's pretty quick alrite, but he wasn't quick enough to run away from Boden Barrett.!!!

It was a bold move by Raelene Castle and the board to kick out their best player. All at the behest of Alan Joyce, in order to appease left ideology. Fast forward a couple of years, Rugby Australia has turned to kaka, Raelene is gone, the board is about to go, Qantas has no flights, and Joyce may go also. As for Izzy, he's still paid to play League, and the payout from RA was a nice touch for him as well.

Israel Folau 1 John 4:4 God bless 🙏

Israel is a fantastic rugby player but i have seen players just as great! Look at those All Blacks there's world class in that team 😊

ISRAEL I STAND WITH YOU AGAINST THE GHEE

I wish AR gives him one last chance like the three strike rules in America baseball, this is his second social media offenses .

Make it a condition for folou before signing nrl that he has to attend the Mardi gra! 😁😁😁

one of great rugby player victim of political correctness

26 “When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye. 27 If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth.

I bet Rugby celebrated Easter. I bet Rugby celebrated Christmas Whose the hypocrite ???????

When has he not got a double

If Australia don’t do well in the coming rugby World Cup we know who is responsible

He only steps with his right, imagine if he could step with his left...

What a tank 🙌🏽

Don't worry about amazing pace. Amazing Grace will have to pay his salary now.

Fkn OATH! 🔥🔥🔥

Israel Folau. A man who played rugby and believed in God and quoted his scriptures. Australian Rugby, an evil corporate who thinks rugby should be the only thing anyone believes in.

Terrible to think that a female and a gay Irishman have determined the immediate future of the Australian men's national team.

Great player Wales would still beat Australia in the World Cup, without Folau they have no chance, so pleased he won't be there.

Aus must have missed him in RWC 2019
