Former Wallabies wing Wendell Sailor is backing Israel Folau to be the greatest dual international of the professional era.

Sailor, who, like Folau, also represented Australia in rugby league believes England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup winning wing Jason Robinson and Sydney Roosters stalwart Sonny Bill Williams, who hoisted the Webb Ellis Cup with New Zealand in 2011, presently share the mantle.

But after watching Folau equal Lote Tuqiri’s all-time record for scoring the most tries for Australia in a calendar year during a superb 15 Test debut season, Sailor thinks the Waratahs utility back will have emulated Robinson and Williams by the end of his career.
