Kurtley Beale gets a surprise recall for Australia's rugby tour to Europe

Kurtley Beale has been recalled for Australia's rugby Nations Championship tour to Europe, making the 37-year-old utility back available to play his first test in five years. Beale played the last of his 95 tests in 2021 against Wales. He was selected for the 2024 squad but withdrew due to an Achilles injury. Beale will cover for Hunter Paisami, who is unavailable for the tests against England, Scotland, and Wales next month. The Wallabies leave Australia on Saturday.
Head coach Les Kiss says Beale's experience and versatility are valuable.
