MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia fullback Israel Folau's code of conduct hearing is unlikely to produce a decision on Tuesday after it resumes at 10:00 a.m local time (0000 GMT) in Sydney, Rugby Australia said on Monday.

Folau, a fundamentalist Christian, faced a three-member panel on Saturday and Sunday at the hearing to decide whether he breached RA's code of conduct with a social media post that said 'hell' awaited 'drunks, homosexuals, adulterers' and others.
