Chiefs scrum half puts boot into Folau over comments
The Australia full-back has avoided punishment for saying homosexuals will go to "hell" unless they "repent their sins and turn to God".
"New Zealand Rugby is committed to diversity and inclusion, and welcomes people from all walks of life", the body said on its social media channels.
"I think it's something we'll look at in terms of working with the teams to manage social media".
His comments were described as "very disappointing" by Qantas airlines, a major sponsor of Rugby Australia, while worldwide referee Nigel Owens, who came out as gay in 2007, said such comments could contribute to young people taking their own lives.
With Rugby Australia deciding not to sanction Folau, any push against his anti-gay views could now come from rugby's rank-and-file.
Blues coach Tana Umaga is confident his players are aware of their responsibilities when it comes to the use of social media in wake of Israel Folau's anti-gay comments on Instagram.
There are many sins outlined in that passage from 1 Corinthians and I have been guilty of committing some of them myself.
Last year, Folau was criticised by teammates after tweeting his opposition to gay marriage ahead of Australia's gay marriage referendum.
But many have slammed Folau's comments. While the organisation claimed it did not agree with the star winger's standpoint, it understood Folau was reiterating his deep religious convictions.

Sean Hannity Revealed as Michael Cohen's Third Client
But who ultimately gets to decide how such a relationship is best described? Watch above, via Fox News . But their bosses will evidently refer to it on Hannity terms, as long as he's their star.
In a series of tweets this evening, Perenara said he was "100 percent" against the comments and it was not okay to say that.
Those convictions, however, have prompted criticism from Hurricanes' and All Blacks' half-back TJ Perenara.
'Let it go on record that I am 100% against the comments that were made by Israel.
"It was not ok to say that. There is no justification for such harmful comments".
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 was lucky enough to have a few times with him in the Wallaby camp to see what's he about and mainly to see his beliefs as a Christian man", Alaalatoa said.
Katarina Williams travelled to Japan with assistance from the Asia New Zealand Foundation.
That's why Folau's stance is so unsafe.
