Australian rugby is dreaming big following the signing yesterday of Israel Folau who rejected an offer from the Parramatta league club to join the New South Wales Waratahs Super Rugby franchise.

Folau has given Australian league a new target of derision after years of sniping at code hopping Sonny Bill Williams, by returning to the code he last played as a schoolboy after a lucrative, though, unsuccessful two years in Aussie Rules.

Former Wallabies centre Tim Horan believes 23-year-old Folau has the pedigree to line up for Robbie Deans’ Wallabies within the year.
