Kurtley Beale's Career in Jeopardy After Achilles Injury

The veteran Wallaby suffers a significant setback just as Joe Schmidt begins his tenure as head coach.

Beale, 35, was injured during a Sydney club rugby match and is awaiting scan results to confirm a ruptured Achilles.
The injury could end Beale's hopes of returning to the Wallabies, having last played in 2021.
Joe Schmidt's first Test as Wallabies coach is against Wales, with several Queensland Reds players expected to feature.
Schmidt's approach may draw more from the Queensland Reds' strategies than his previous success with Ireland.
The Wallabies aim to improve from last year's disappointing performances under former coach Eddie Jones.
