Israel Folau’s code of conduct hearing has resumed in Sydney as he attempt to to save his Australian rugby career.

The Wallabies star and his legal team arrived at the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills for a third day of debate in his fight with Rugby Australia (RA).

The three-person panel is not expected to reach a decision on Tuesday, but it’s hoped the severity of any breach of Folau’s four-year, $4 million contract will be determined.

While the governing body appears intent on terminating Folau’s contract for his provocative social media posts, NSW Waratahs chairman Roger Davis has called for “common sense” and a settlement.

“This is a no-win situation for the game and fans and I’d like to see it resolved as quickly as possible,” Davis told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“I think a settlement is a common sense approach … it would be smart. If this goes for a long time there are definitely no winners.

“Let’s see if we can bring some common sense to the table and work out a solution that keeps everyone happy but with a three-party deal that’s not as easy as it sounds.”

If there’s no settlement, it’s likely either Folau or RA will appeal any decision, meaning a second code of conduct hearing – with a completely new independent panel – will be required.
