Aussie fans will be fine. We understand that Folau's a fundy cunt, and Aussies generally don't like fundy cunts. We also understand that Australian attitudes are that winning is important, and sports administrators are weasels who will bend their principles to accommodate star athletes (cf. picking David Warner for the cricket team at the very first opportunity after his cheating suspension, despite insisting that there had been cultural change in the team). I'd actually suspect that sponsors are better at responding meaningfully to the public mood, and Folau hasn't fared well in that regard.
Off topic: hopefully just 6 days now until we're rid of our fundy cunt Prime Minister, installed mid-term by his party in a weird electoral suicide ritual.
