Israel Folau will make his Catalans Dragons debut in the Super League encounter with Castleford Tigers on Saturday.

The dual-code international joined Catalans in January after being sacked by Rugby Australia last May.

Folau had his contract terminated for a "high-level breach" after he posted that hell awaits "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters" on Instagram. He had been warned over previous online posts in 2018.

The 30-year-old - who settled a legal dispute with Rugby Australia over his dismissal in December - had to wait for his Catalans bow after his move to Perpignan was ratified by the Rugby Football League.

However, he is selected at centre for the fixture against the Tigers at Stade Gilbert Brutus.
