Kurtley Beale Stood Down

[GIGS20]

If don't get beaten by one of our biggest margins ever on Saturday, I will be surprised, they are a shambles.

or worse, they stumble to the least expected win in rugby history because the All Blacks are too busy laughing at us to remember to play rugby (or any one of a million 'shit happens' scenarios which might lead to us being in front at 80 without deserving it) and the ARU will spin it to demonstrate that there wasn't really any issues in the team and everything's sailing along swimmingly (another chardonnay Johnathan?)

Totally agree! TIF another incident was when Umaga hit a team mate on a pub with a handbag when said team mate was a plonker!

I'm backing the wallabies

Aussies love the under dog status

The wallaby team is a good one and they have plenty to prove

Bring back the biff

You love this stuff, really you do

All blacks have been admitted to hospital due to aching pains to the abdomen ,,, Doctors diagnosed it as a common stitch that comes from to much laffing.. They were given an oval pill and told to go to Ballymore and do a haka on Saturday night,,, Could be the most entertaining thing to take place there. Lucky the last scalping was done many yrs ago and is banned as Link could have been in line for one

Pity Hodgo is in the team as if he wasn't we could blame it all on the east... He will be the only descent player in the team.

Kurtley Beale gets the green light to join Wallabies on Spring Tour

KURTLEY Beale’s 47-day exile from the Wallabies is over, with the controversial star to fly out to Europe on Saturday to join the team and reboot his international career.

The Daily Telegraph understands Beale will depart alongside backrower Jake Schatz as the Wallabies bolster their squad for the final two games of their tour, and he will be strongly considered for selection against Ireland on November 23.

Beale has not pulled on the gold jersey since the Wallabies’ loss in Cape Town against South Africa on September 27.
After that match, he had an in-flight argument with then Wallabies business manager Di Patston, which quickly descended into the biggest scandal to engulf the ARU and saw the resignation of not only Patston but Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie.

Beale’s career was spared when he was fined $45,000 by an independent tribunal for sending an offensive text message to Patston, while a second more offensive text alleged to have been sent from his phone could not be proved.

Beale missed the Wallabies’ loss to Argentina and their final Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks on October 18, and was left out of the spring tour squad despite being let off by the tribunal.

New Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and defence coach Nathan Grey had indicated that Beale had been left behind due to fitness, rather than any disciplinary issue, and that he could join the camp at some point.
That will come this weekend when the 25-year-old rejoins his national teammates, and he’ll watch them play France in Paris on Sunday at 7am (AEST).

Beale will be in contention to play in Australia’s next game, against Ireland in Dublin, the following weekend.
Ironically, it was a drinking episode in Dublin during last year’s spring tour, after which 15 Wallabies players were reprimanded, that tensions first arose between the playing group and McKenzie.

Beale was not on last year’s tour, but was back in the fold by June during the French series when Patston’s role within team management had increased and the playing group became perplexed with her role and responsibilities.
It was during that camp that Beale inadvertently sent Patston a photo text message of an obese woman, when he meant to send it to Wallabies teammate James Hanson.
The pair met to sort out their differences and the issue was buried until their argument three months later, on a flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo as the team made their way to Argentina.
Patston flew home from Buenos Aires two days later, and Beale was dropped from the team.
The following week, the team flew back to Australia, while Patston resigned under mounting stress and scrutiny over her qualifications.
Following the last-minute loss to the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Test, McKenzie shocked the rugby world by announcing his resignation, which came just days after ARU chief executive Bill Pulver had declared that he would be on the plane to the UK for the tour.
Kurtley Beale has been training privately before earning a Wallabies recall.

The ARU scrambled to sign Cheika and appointed him two days before Beale’s hearing.
Some expected Beale to have his contract terminated at that hearing but a three-man panel said the fine, the games he’d already missed, and the damage to his reputation over this incident were punishment enough.

However, Cheika had picked a 33-man touring squad before Beale’s hearing and had not included him due to the impending judgment.
The team departed and Beale was left to do his own training in Sydney in a bid to reclaim the fitness required to slot back into the side.
Beale was a pivotal member of Cheika’s winning Waratahs Super Rugby side this year and the coach is a close friend and mentor to the enigmatic star.

Cheika clearly wants Beale back in the national squad as Australia chase an undefeated tour, having started with wins over the Barbarians and Wales.

Yahoo sports tonight ... Hooper is a bit immature on some issues.. I think he is out of line here in saying some of the following..

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sp...ies-in-europe/

Beale's recall is sure to divide opinion but Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper denied it would prove a distraction.

"The players are really excited," Hooper said after Australia trained at Stade de France on Friday.

"It's going to be really refreshing to have two new guys come into the team.

"It's going to be good to have KB in and around the environment, a place where he loves being.

"I'm really excited to see his face when he gets over here and get involved in training and maybe get a Test game.

"We need our best team over here to win our remaining games and KB is part of that."
