Kurtley Beale recalled to Wallabies squad for UK tour
The 37-year-old replaces Hunter Paisami, who is unavailable for personal reasons, with James Ramm and Kalani Thomas also joining the touring group.
Wallabies coach Les Kiss has called Kurtley Beale into Australia's squad for its spring tour of the UK, bringing the 95-Test veteran back into the national group. The tour includes Tests against England, Scotland and Wales ahead of the inaugural Nations Championship finals, scheduled for 21–23 November in the UK.
Beale takes the place of Hunter Paisami, whose absence is for personal reasons. James Ramm and Kalani Thomas have also been added to the touring squad.
Kiss said Beale would mainly provide cover at inside centre, though he could fill several backline roles. The coach cited his Test experience and said the 37-year-old had performed well for the Western Force in Super Rugby Pacific and Super Rugby AUS.
Beale's last Test was against Wales in Cardiff in 2021. He was included in a Wallabies squad in 2024, but an Achilles injury cut his season short. His international career includes appearances at the 2011, 2015 and 2019 World Cups.
