Chiefs halfback and one-test All Black Brad Weber has tweeted his disgust at the comments made by Israel Folau about gay people.

Folau has caused an uproar on both sides of the Tasman over his comment on Instagram last month that God's plan for gay people was "Hell, unless they repent of their sins and turn to God".

While Super Rugby players and personnel generally have been reluctant to comment publicly, Weber said he was "kinda sick" of players staying quiet on issues.

"I can't stand that I have to play this game that I love with people, like Folau, who say what he's saying," Weber posted on his Twitter account.

"My cousin and her partner, and my Aunty and her partner are some of the most kind, caring & loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

"To think that I play against someone that says they'll go to Hell for being gay disgusts me."

When a commenter replied that surely Folau was entitled to express his opinion, Weber replied: "Yep. But so am I. And my opinion of his is one that disgusts me."

There were a number of developments on the Folau issue on Tuesday, with Rugby Australia confirming it would not place any sanctions on him.

Folau had written a column, published in The Players' Voice on Monday night, in which he outlined his position.

Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle responded, saying: "In his article, Israel clearly articulated his religious beliefs and why his faith is important to him and has provided context behind his social media comment.

"In his own words, Israel said that he did not intend to upset people intentionally or bring hurt to the game. We accept Israel's position."

Fairfax Media in Australia reported that while sponsors were not happy, major sponsor Qantas would honour its contract with RA.

Netball New Zealand chief executive Jennie Wyllie said her organisation had spoken with Folau's wife, Silver Fern shooter Maria Folau, about the issue but said it had not been a distraction at the Commonwealth Games. The Silver Ferns had their worst ever Games, failing to win a medal for the first time.
