The Rugby Football Union (RFU) will raise the Pride flag above Twickenham on Sunday on the day that Israel Folau returns to the home of English rugby.
The Australian courted huge controversy several years ago when he aired his religious beliefs on social media, stating that hell awaits “drunks, homosexuals, adulterers” and others. It eventually saw him sacked by Rugby Australia but he will play in London for the first time since those comments.
Folau has found himself a home in Japan's rugby scene, but will take part in an exhibition match as part of a World XI, who will take on the Barbarians, led by former England boss Eddie Jones.
