SYDNEY (Reuters) - Israel Folau's controversial social media posts have hurt the New South Wales Waratahs but the Super Rugby side have managed to refocus ahead of Saturday's clash with the Melbourne Rebels, flyhalf Bernard Foley has said.

The 30-year-old Folau, a devout Christian, sparked controversy for the second time in 12 months after posting that gay people were destined for "hell" if they did not "repent".
