Sacked Wallabies star Israel Folau now says he is set to lose $14 million as a result of his sacking by Rugby Australia, according to new court documents.

The documents also claim the Wallabies would have put in a “superior performance” if Folau was selected for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and he could have possibly captained “a trophy-winning Wallabies team”.

The figure has been increased to $14 million from a previous estimate of $10 million, according to an amended statement of claim released today.

Folau had his $4 million contract with Rugby Australia torn up in April after he was found to have broken their code of conduct with his second controversial religious post against homosexuality.
