Wallabies star Folau loses one-match ban appeal

Star Wallabies fullback Israel Folau lost his appeal against a one-match ban yesterday in the aftermath of a contentious final test with Ireland last weekend. Folau faced a World Rugby judiciary hearing on Wednesday after being yellow carded and then cited for a second incident under the high ball in Australia鈥檚 16-20 loss to the Irish in Sydney on Saturday. An appeals tribunal subsequently upheld Folau鈥檚 ban and he will miss the NSW Waratahs鈥 Super Rugby clash with the Rebels in Melbourne today. The ban came as a result of Folau鈥檚 involvement in an aerial contest for possession with Peter O鈥橫ahony from a restart in the ninth minute of the final Irish test.
