SYDNEY (Reuters) - Canterbury Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has suggested Israel Folau should work for space agency NASA after the New South Wales Waratahs fullback's aerial skills helped end his team's record Super Rugby winning streak.

Folau's ability to leap above opponents played a big part in a first-half try for Cam Clark on Saturday and led directly to a late score for the Wallaby himself as the Waratahs handed the Super Rugby champions a first defeat in 20 matches.
