Kurtley Beale will not feature in the Wallabies' June series

Australia coach Michael Cheika has confirmed that utility back Kurtley Beale will not feature in the Wallabies' June series due to injury.

“Kurtley won’t be coming back, I spoke to him, and I think the right thing, talking to the physio and that, considering the injury status he had before he left and now a couple of niggles towards the end of the season, this isn’t the first one he’s had,’ commented Cheika.

Beale suffered a hamstring injury in Wasps' Premiership semi-final win over Leicester last weekend.

Cheika said he would bring back France-based halfback Genia for the June matches.
