(Reuters) - Catalans Dragons coach Steve McNamara is unsure whether Israel Folau will make his Super League debut this weekend, saying the Australian has two more training sessions to prove his form and fitness.

Folau, whose move to France attracted widespread criticism, has been sidelined since he had his contract with Rugby Australia torn up last May for posting on social media that hell awaits "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers" and other groups.
