MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A fresh fundraising drive for sacked Australia fullback Israel Folau quickly hit the A$1 million (£546,209) mark in donations after it was launched by a Christian lobby on Tuesday.

Folau, a fundamentalist Christian, is seeking to raise A$3 million to help fund his legal action against Rugby Australia and his Super Rugby team, the New South Wales Waratahs, as he fights his termination in court.
