Could Beale play in Super Rugby?

Kurtley Beale, the Wasps back returning to Australia next month, could play a part in the Waratahs’ final Super Rugby matches this year.

Beale has re-signed with the ARU for 2018 and is set to play a full part in Australia’s Test matches in June, when the Wallabies take on Fiji, Scotland and Italy.

Despite his involvement with Australia, Beale technically is not contracted to play for the ‘Tahs in their final games of the Super Rugby season, against the Jaguares and Force.

However as with Dean Mumm’s return to Australia from the Premiership in 2015, Beale could be brought back into the fold.

Addressing the possibility this week, with the Waratahs on a bye, Gibson admitted he was in the dark regarding Beale’s movements when he returns home next month.

“I would have to talk to Kurtley and see where his position is at because I’ve had no communication with him,” Gibson told The Daily Telegraph.

“I’m not sure what Cheik’s plans with him are, because he is signed to Australia, and the Waratahs for 2018.

“It is not high on my agenda.”
