The outcome will be interesting indeed. It'll show whether the hearing is an intention to try and "rehabilitate" him, and let him return, or just another chance to tell him off before standing by their initial ruling of sacking him.

It will be very interesting to hear what his legal side say (if anything is made public) to put his position.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Apparentapparently aru forgot to put the social media clause in hiscontract last time he signed. They tried to add it later but her unsurprisingly refused to sign it.

I assumed that's what the ARU were checking during the pause between "We'll probably sack him" and actually sacking him. Would be strange to have the delay to think about it but not actually check the legals. Although, rugby unions aren't always the most on the ball...

The other week folau said he'd let God decide whether he continues his career in rugby.

In now looks like he's gonna let his lawyers make that decision
