• Coach speaks after Folau and Billy Vunipola’s Instagram posts
• Baxter warns players of ‘making a statement about yourself’
Exeter’s director of rugby, Rob Baxter, has reminded his players about their responsibilities on social media in the wake of controversies surrounding Israel Folau and Billy Vunipola.
Folau is set for a code of conduct hearing early next month after an Instagram post that warned “hell awaits” for “drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists [and] idolaters”. If unsuccessful, the Australia full-back faces the sack.
