Kurtley Beale's Career in Jeopardy After Injury

Kurtley Beale's rugby career is in jeopardy after scans confirmed he ruptured his Achilles during a club match for Randwick, just days after being recalled to the Wallabies' 38-man squad by new coach Joe Schmidt. The 35-year-old veteran, who aimed to reach 100 Test caps, went down untouched and now faces a significant rehabilitation period. Beale's injury is a major setback as he was poised for a potential return to the national side after overcoming legal charges and a 12-month stand-down. His teammates and Wallabies staff expressed their sorrow and support for him. This injury comes ahead of Australia's first Test against Wales, followed by matches against Georgia and another against Wales.
