WATCH: Israel Folau has given his first interview for his new club

Fallen Wallabies star Israel Folau has given his first interview with his new club, Catalan Dragons, after he joined the rugby league Super League team after being fired by Rugby Australia last May.

The French club have taken on the former NRL player, despite the storm around his controversial posting of homophobic comments on social media.

Coach Steve McNamara explained the circumstances around the signing, and Folau also spoke about what it will be like to play Rugby League again, for the first time in a decade.

“It’s been ten years since playing this great game and I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead.”
