The Super League is investigating after two spectators say they were told to remove rainbow flags during Israel Folau's debut at Catalans Dragons last week.

Folau was sacked by Rugby Australia for posting homophobic comments on social media but joined Catalans last month.

The two women say they were told to remove the flags, a symbol of LGBT pride, "on health and safety grounds".

The Super League says everybody should have the right to respectfully express their views and they are investigating.

Folau had scored 6 minutes into is debut.
