In a post on social media last week, Folau said hell awaited "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters." Speaking to media today, Cheika stated that Folau would not be playing for the Wallabies - a major blow in a Rugby World Cup year. In saying that, obviously I love playing footy and if it goes down that path I'll definitely miss it.
