Wallabies star Israel Folau announces engagement to Silver Ferns shooter Maria Tutaia
Congratulations are in order for Wallabies star Israel Folau and Silver Ferns sharp shooter Maria Tutaia.
The 29-year-old goal attack announced her engagement to Wallabies rugby star Israel Folau on Sunday evening, posting a photo of the couple and the engagement ring.
It is understood the power couple started dating in February, after the pair were caught flirting on social media.
Ever since they have offered up glimpses into their relationship with photos and videos, but now they've taken it to the next level.

It comes as trans-Tasman rugby relations hit a low point after the All Blacks' win over the Wallabies at Eden Park on Saturday.
Tutaia decided to stay in New Zealand in 2017, despite rumours she would head to Australia for the higher level of competition in their new netball league, and the obvious drawcard of having her partner close.
