An Australian employment law expert believes money's definitely involved in Israel Folau's settlement with Rugby Australia.
The former Wallaby has reached a secret settlement with Rugby Australia and New South Wales Rugby.
Sydney University employment law expert Giuseppe Carabetta told Heather du-Plessis Allan he won't get the reinstatement and apology he wanted.
He says it was about ending the dispute.
"Rugby Australia would have wanted it removed from the front page. They drew the line in the sand and said 'here's some money'."
Carabetta says these sort of cases usually do settle.
"I thought it would come a bit later. I thought going in yesterday and seeing the comments that were exchanged, I didn't think it would happen today."
